Let us denote the traits as follows:
G = Green pod colour (dominant)
g = Yellow pod colour (recessive)
I = Inflated pod shape (dominant)
i = Constricted pod shape (recessive)
Parent 1 (homozygous for green and infl ated pod): GGII
Parent 2 (homozygous for yellow and constricted pod): ggii
F1 generation: GgIi
F2: F1×F1  (GgIi × GgIi)
F2  phenotypic ratio: Green and infldated (9): Green and constricted (3): Yellow and inflated (3): Yellow and constricted (1)
Expected percentage of F2  progeny  with yellow and inflated is (3/16) × 100 = 18.75%
