Answer: 100% will be heterozygous green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both parents (green and yellow) are homozygous and green is dominant, when they are crossed all the resultant offsprings will have both genes of green and yellow in their genotype but will appear as green( phenotype) because the green colour is dominant and has masked the yellow colour which is recessive.
