Referring to Mendel's data, in terms of seed color, yellow seeds are dominant over green. Round shape on the other hand, dominates wrinkled seeds. While, inflated pod shapes are dominant over constricted. If a hypothetical cross occurs between a plant with yellow, round seeds in a constricted pod (heterozygous for seed color and shape) with another plant that has yellow with wrinkled seeds in an inflated pod (pure breed for all traits), what fraction of the offspring would be heterozygous for at least two of the three characteristics?

Referring to Mendel's data, in terms of seed color, yellow seeds are
dominant over green. Round shape on the other hand, dominates
wrinkled seeds. While, inflated pod shapes are dominant over
constricted.
If a hypothetical cross occurs between a plant with yellow, round
seeds in a constricted pod (heterozygous for seed color and shape)
with another plant that has yellow with wrinkled seeds in an
inflated pod (pure breed for all traits), what fraction of the
offspring would be heterozygous for at least two of the three
