Summer squash color is determined by the interaction of more than one gene.The presence of CC or Cc allele combinations produces a squash that is white in color,and the C allele is epistatic to the G allele.The presence of GG or Gg produces a squash that is yellow in color,and ccgg produces a squash that is green.After two heterozygous squash are crossed one of the offspring is CcGg.What is the color of the offspring squash?
A) White
B) Yellow
C) Green
D) It is impossible to determine based on the information given
E) None of these

The offspring squash with the genotype CcGg will be white in color because the C allele is epistatic to the G allele, meaning the presence of at least one C allele (CC or Cc) determines the squash to be white, regardless of the G allele's presence.
