Answer:

Yellow and dominant

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Yy represents yellow seeds, the presence of the dominant allele (Y) indicates that recessive homozygosis (yy) cannot manifest yellow because the Y allele prevents the manifestation of green color.

Therefore it is concluded that the Yy seed carries the recessive gene for green seeds, but does not manifest green color.
