Answer:

Gg

Step-by-step explanation:

They would have to have one dominant allele and one recessive allele to have recessive traits and still produce a child with dominant traits, unless they are mutated.

The genotypes would be Gg and Gg. This gives a chance of both gray and green offspring in the Punnett square.
