    Yes, it is possible.

    In this case both of the parental plants were heterozygotes and they manifested dominant allele in their phenotype, which is round seed.

    P: Aa x Aa

    F5: AA, Aa, aA, aa - possible genotypes in fifth generations.

    A - dominant allele (round seeds); a - recessive allele (wrinkled seeds)

    Wrinkled phenotype is manifested only if there are two recessive alleles present.
