In pea plants, seed color can be either yellow (Y, dominant) or green (y, recessive), while seed shape can be either round (R, dominant) or wrinkled (r, recessive). If you were to cross two plants that were each heterozygous for both genes, what would be the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
