In this problem, we need to determine the genetic cross between two parent plants given their genotype and the color of their pods. Let's break down the details step-by-step:
1. We know that one parent plant is heterozygous and has yellow-colored pods.
- A heterozygous genotype means the plant has two different alleles for a trait (e.g., Yy where 'Y' and 'y' are the two alleles).
2. We also know that the other parent plant is homozygous and has green-colored pods.
- A homozygous genotype means the plant has two identical alleles for a trait. In this case, since the color is green and assuming green (yy) is recessive, the genotype must be yy.
Given this information:
- The first parent plant (heterozygous with yellow-colored pods) has the genotype Yy.
- The second parent plant (homozygous with green-colored pods) has the genotype yy.
Hence, the cross between these two parent plants would be represented as:
[tex]\[ \text{Yy} \times \text{yy} \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ \text{Yy} \times \text{yy} \][/tex]
So, the answer to the question is option number 1:
[tex]\[ \text{Yy} \times \text{yy} \][/tex]
