In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominant trait, while yellow pods (g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a GG genotype is crossed with a second plant that has the gg genotype. If this cross produces 500 offspring, approximately how many of the offspring will have green pods?

The cross between a GG genotype and gg genotype will result in all heterozygous offspring with the genotype Gg. Since green pods (G) are dominant over yellow pods (g), all offspring with the Gg genotype will have green pods.
Therefore, all 500 offspring will have green pods.
The answer is D) 500.
