The recombinat types are AB, and ab.

Genetic recombination involves the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. In our case the parents are Ab and aB, which is not the same as the offsprings (AB, ab). During meiosis in eukaryotes, recombination involves the pairing of the homologous chromosomes a process.
