Answer

B. Aagg

Explain

## Step 1:<br />The given genetic cross is AaGG x aaGg. In this cross, each parent is homozygous at one locus with allele 'A' or 'a' and 'G' for the other parent and 'g'. <br /><br />## Step 2:<br />In the offspring generations, there could be combinations of 'A' or 'a' with either 'G' or 'g'. <br /><br />## Step 3:<br />The combinations resulting from the initial mating are AaGG, AaGg, aaGG, and aaGg. <br /><br />## Step 4:<br />The genotype 'Aagg' can't result from the initial parents' mating because one of the parents always provides 'G'. Hence the possible combinations are AaGG, AaGg, aaGG, aaGg.
