all round and yellow

all wrinkled and green

half round and yellow; half wrinkled and green

Verified Answer :

The phenotypes of the F1
generation were all
round and yellow. The correct answer between all the choices
given is the first choice. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your
query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like,
feel free to ask another question.

The correct answer is all round and yellow.

As you can see in the punnet square presented below, all of the offspring from the RRYY X rryy cross have the RrYy, heterozygote genotype.

Since R and Y are the dominant alleles, the heterozygotes express the same traits as the dominant parent, yellow and round seeds.
