Mendel performed a cross between individuals heterozygous for three different traits: green versus yellow seeds (green is dominant),red versus white flowers (red is dominant),and green versus yellow pods (green is dominant).What fraction of the offspring would have been expected to have green seeds,red flowers,and green pods? A) ²⁷/₆₄ B) ¹²/₆₄ C) ⁹/₆₄ D) ⁶/₆₄ E) ³/₆₄

Each trait follows a 3:1 ratio for dominant to recessive in a heterozygous cross. The probability of having green seeds is 3/4, red flowers is 3/4, and green pods is 3/4. Multiplying these probabilities gives (3/4) * (3/4) * (3/4) = 27/64.
