Answer:
Hetezygous
Explanation:
<em>The genotype of the initial green pod plant would be heterozygous.</em>
Let pea pod color be represented by C (c) alleles.
First, let us assume that the genotype of the green pea pod plant is homozygous dominant, CC. This was crossed with homozygous recessive, cc.
CC x cc
Cc Cc Cc Cc
<u>All the progeny will have Cc genotype with phenotypically green color. </u><u>This is in contrast to the result obtained from the test cross in the illustration, hence the genotype of the initial green pea pod plant cannot be homozygous dominant.</u>
Now, let us assume that the genotype is Heterozygous, Cc.
Cc x cc
Cc Cc cc cc
<u>50% of the progeny has Cc genotype with phenotypically green color while the remaining 50% has cc genotype with phenotypically yellow color. </u><u>This is consistent with the result from the illustration.</u>
Hence, the genotype of the initial green pea pod plant is heterozygous.
