In corn, having ligules (L) is dominant to liguleless (l), and green leaves (G) is dominant to white leaves (g). 1. If a testcross is performed with a dihybrid plant with ligules and green leaves, what proportion of the progeny would be green and liguleless? 2. If a pure-breeding liguleless plant with green leaves is crossed to pure-breeding plant with ligules and white leaves, predict the proportion of F2 progeny with the genotype Ll gg.

Alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous chromosome with contrasting characteristics.
In case of diploid organisms a particular gene has two alleles, one is dominant and another is recessive in nature.
