The possible phenotypes of the offspring from a cross between yellow and red parental plants depend on the inheritance pattern of the traits. If yellow is dominant over red, the offspring could display either yellow or red phenotypes, with yellow being more prevalent. If the traits follow incomplete dominance, the offspring might show a blend of the two colors, resulting in orange. The exact phenotypic ratios would also depend on whether the parental plants are homozygous or heterozygous for their respective colors.
All the first-generation offspring will be smooth peas, as the smooth trait is dominant over the wrinkled trait in peas. This is known as a monohybrid cross involving one gene with two alleles.

The offspring of a first cross between two different breeds or species is known as a hybrid.
The expected proportion of offspring showing both recessive traits in a dihybrid cross is 1/16 or 6.25%. This is because each trait segregates independently and the probability of both recessive traits occurring together is the product of the individual probabilities (1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16).

If you cross wwgg x WwGg, each parent contributes one allele for the traits. The genotype for wrinkled (w) and green (g) seeds is wwgg, and the genotype for WwGg is heterozygous for smooth and yellow. Therefore, 0% of the offspring will be wrinkled green.

No. A cross product is just a way of simplifying a proportion. If the cross product aren't equal, it follows logically that the proportion isn't equal.
If both oompahs are heterozygous (Oo), there are three possible genotypes that would result in offspring with orange faces: OO, Oo, and oO. Therefore, 75% of the offspring from this cross would have orange faces.
It is important to remember that the factors inherited by the first offspring of a cross have no effect at all on other offspring of that cross. For example, there is a 25% probability that offspring of a cross betweet two hybrid bean plants will inherit the factos RR. If one offspring inherits RR, there is still a 25% probability that the next offspring will also inherit RR.
This is a basic Mendel cross where the master himself found out that yellow was the dominant color to green. Many years later we found out that there is another gene involved and that the colors have to do with chlorophyll - not just color. If a pure green is crossed to a purebred yellow, then all the offspring will be yellow. However they do carry the green gene since if these yellow offspring are self-fertilized, they will produce the standard 3/4 yellow and 1/4 green phenotypes.
The cross product is created.

Multiply the cross products, and see if they are equal. If they are equal, the proportion is true. If they are unequal, the proportion is false.
