You've discovered a new plant species in which

green fruit color (g) is recessive to yellow fruit color (G), and

long fruit shape (l) is recessive to round fruit shape (L).

The genes for fruit color and shape are located on the same chromosome and are 12 m. u. apart.

Determine the proportions of progeny of each phenotype produced for this cross: Gl/gL x Gl/gL

All the crossing will be like this after realizing it:

Explanation:

Gl x Gl

GG, Gl, Gl, ll

gl x gl

gg, Lg, Lg, LL

On the first crossing we'll have 50% Gl and both other genotypes will be 25%

On the second crossing we'll have 50% Lg and both other genotypes will be 25%.
