Solution

The correct option is B Round yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled yellow seeds, and wrinkled green seeds
When RRYY is crossed with rryy, all F1 progeny with RrYy genotype will have round yellow seeds. RrYy will produce gametes as RY, Ry, rY and ry. Thus, the F2 generation will produce offspring as below:
1) Round yellow seeds (9)
2) Round green seeds (3)
3) Wrinkled yellow seeds (3)
4) Wrinkled green seeds (1)
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
