The genotype percentage is 100 % of Yy genotype as all the individuals from this cross are of genotype Yy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

Yellow squash Y = dominant

white squash y = recessive

cross between YY X yy

genotype percentage =?

the cross between two squash colors will be seen in the Punnet square.

YY X yy

y y

Y Yy Yy

Y Yy Yy

Genotype percentage will be on the assumption that each box of the punnet square represents 25 %. We can see that all the individuals formed from the cross of homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive will yield heterozygous individuals with dominant phenotype.

the genotype percent is 100% of Yy genotype.
