The correct answer is:
Rryy, RRyy
The Dihybrid cross is when two pairs of contrasting characters are crossed between homozygous members for those characters.
Self-crossing of pea plant heterozygous for round and yellow seeds will give the following progenies -
Round seeds have the genotype - RR/Rr
Green seeds have geotype - yy
Seeds with round shape and green colour genotype - Rryy/RRyy.
Self-crossing of pea plant heterozygous for round and yellow seeds will give the following progenies -
| RY | Ry | rY | ry | |
| RY | RRYY | RRYy | RrYY | RrYy |
| Ry | RRYy | RRyy | RrYy | Rryy |
| rY | RrYY | RrYy | rrYy | rrYy |
| ry | RrYy | Rryy | rrYy | rryy |
Round seeds have the genotype - RR/Rr
Green seeds have geotype - yy
Seeds with round shape and green colour genotype - Rryy/RRyy.
