Answer;

The probability is 9/16; That is; the combined probability of CCSS, CcSS, CCSs and CcSs.

Explanation;

The probability of an offspring that exhibits both dominant traits (green pod and smooth pod shape) is 9/16.

The probability of one dominant and one recessive trait (either greed pod color and constricted shape OR yellow pod and smooth shape) is 3/16.

The probability of both recessive traits showing in the phenotype (yellow color and constricted shape) is 1/16. This gives as a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes (phenotypic ratio).

The probability of an F2 offspring having a green pod color and smooth pod shape is 9 out of 16, which is a combined probability of CCSS,CcSs, CCSs and CcSs.
