Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cross between a pure-breeding liguleless, green-leaved plant (ll GG) and a pure-breeding white-leaved, liguled plant (LL gg) would produce offspring that are heterozygous for both traits (Ll Gg), displaying the dominant phenotypes of green leaves and ligules.
