In corn, the trait for yellow seedlings (g) is recessive to green seedlings (G), and waxy endosperm (w) is recessive to starchy endosperm (W). The two genes assort independently. A cross between a homozygous green, waxy plant and a homozygous yellow starchy plant produced F1 progeny that were all phenotypically green, starchy.
a) If F1 individuals are interbred (self-pollinated), what phenotypes and in what proportions (ratios) would you expect in the F2 generation progeny
b) List the expected F2 genotypes and ratios, and their corresponding phenotypes.
c) If F1 plants are crossed to the green, waxy parent, what genotypes, phenotypes, and their corresponding ratios would you expect?
