Answer:
Smooth and green seeds
Smooth and yellow seeds
Wrinkled and green seeds
Wrinkled and yellow seeds
Explanation:
This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two linked genes; one gene coding for seed texture and the other for seed colour. The allele for Smooth seed (S) is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled seed (s) in the first gene while the allele for green seed (G) is dominant over the allele for yellow seed (g) in the second gene.
The cross is between a heterozygous smooth, green plant and a homozygous recessive wrinkled, yellow plant
According to the law of independent assortment, each parent will undergo meiosis to produce the following gamtes with genotypes:
SsGg: SG, Sg, sG, sg
ssgg: sg, sg, sg, sg
Using a punnet square to perform a cross between these gametes ( check attached image), a total of 16 offsprings with four different phenotypes will be expected. The phenotypes are as follows:
SsGg: Smooth and green offsprings (4)
Ssgg: Smooth and yellow offsprings (4)
ssGg: Wrinkled and green offsprings (4)
ssgg: wrinkled and yellow offsprings (4)
