Answer

The correct representation of the cross is $Yy \times yy$.

Explain

A heterozygous parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a given trait, represented as $Yy$. A homozygous parent has two identical alleles; in this case, for green-colored pods, which is recessive, represented as $yy$. When these two plants are crossed, the possible combinations of alleles in the offspring are derived from pairing one allele from each parent. The first parent with alleles $Y$ and $y$, and the second parent with alleles $y$ and $y$, gives the following possible combinations: $Yy$ (heterozygous, yellow pods) and $yy$ (homozygous, green pods).
