Guanine does not pair with Thymine. In a DNA strand, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), while guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, that must mean there was a problem or a mistake with the duplication of the strand.

Because it would result in a different amino acid being coded. Each amino acid in a strand is specified for the protein being built.
When mRNA uses ACG as a template to make amino acids, it will get UGC - which is a Cysteine amino acid.
But if ACT is used as a template, mRNA will get UGA - which is a stop codon. This will make the amino acid strand shorter and would result in a different protein being built.

The correct genotypes of the parents are ggrr for yellow pods with wrinkled seeds and GgRr for <span>heterozygous for green pods with round seeds.
If the heterozygous individuals for both traits express have green pods and round seeds that tells us that these traits are dominant.
In the gross presented below, you can see that the offspring will have 4 different genotypes, all present in an equal percentage:
