Question

In pea plants, plant height, seed shape, and seed color are governed by three independently assorting genes. The three genes have the following dominant and recessive alleles: Plant height: Tall (T) is dominant to short (t). Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). Seed color: Yellow (G) is dominant to green (g). What proportion of the F2 that produce round, green seeds are expected to breed true for all three traits? NOTE 2/64=1/32 IS INCORRECT

          In pea plants, plant height, seed shape, and seed color are
governed by three independently assorting genes. The three genes
have the following dominant and recessive alleles: Plant height:
Tall (T) is dominant to short (t). Seed shape: Round (R) is
dominant to wrinkled (r). Seed color: Yellow (G) is dominant to
green (g). What proportion of the F2 that produce round, green
seeds are expected to breed true for all three traits? NOTE
2/64=1/32 IS INCORRECT
