The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

Explanation:

The genetic crossing experiments lead to the formation of different hybrids which has several characters unlike their parents. Here the parents are homozygous.

One of the parent is homozygous yellow with respect to seed colour. So genetic combination of the parent will be YY.

The other parent is homozygous green with respect to seed color. So genetic combination of the parent will be yy.

Now as they are crossed the offsprings will have genetic combination of Yy.

This is seen that the offsprings carry one allele from both the parents.
