The correct option is D RrYy
The correct answer of option (D)
Explanation of the correct option:
- A genotype is referred to as the genetic makeup of the organism which contains alleles that are inherited from the parents by the individuals.
- The heterozygous condition arises when an organism contains two different alleles i.e., one recessive and one dominant allele for the same trait.
- RrYy contains the dominant allele, R, and recessive allele, r, for the seed shape and dominant allele, Y, and recessive allele, y, for the seed color.
