    4 out of 16 of the offspring will be both homozygous round and homozygous green.

    (below is my work)

    S - Round

    s - Wrinkled

    C - Yellow

    c - Green

    both parents plants are SsCc

    S s

    C SC sC x4

    c Sc sc

    16/4=4

    4x1=4

    Option D. 4

    Explanation:

    Let the alleles be: Round = R

    Wrinlkled = r

    Yellow = Y

    Green = y

    The crossing of the plants produces 1 in 4 chance of the orgnism possessing any one of the traits.

    Thus, the option is 4
