What is the probability of an F2 offspring having the green pod color and smooth pod shape?

The probability is 9/16, combining the probability of CCSS, CcSS, CCSs and CcSs. This is because the Punnett square can predict a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes of the dominant genes of the offspring.

Green pod and smooth pod(dominant traits): 9/16

Green pod, constricted shape or yellow pod with smooth shape (one dominant, one recessive):3/16

Yellow and constricted pods (recessive traits)1/16
