Solution

The correct option is E Only round seeds with yellow cotyledons
Since, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seed shape (rr), yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy), round seed with yellow cotyledon will be expressed in heterogenous dihybrid genotype. Hence, the cross between round seed, yellow cotyledon plant (RRYY) and wrinkled seed, green cotyledon plant (rryy) will produce all round seeds with yellow cotyledon. Thus, option "E" is correct.
Parent generation: RRYY x rryy
Gametes : RY ry
Offspring : RrYy
