Two parents are crossed and the genotypic ratio is 1:1 while the phenotypic ratio was 1:0. Does this make the both parents Heterozygous?

    No, assuming classic Mendelian dominant / recessive.

    GG x Gg => GG Gg GG Gg

    In this cross, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is heterozygous. The genotype ratio for offspring is 1 GG : 1 Gg

    and the phenotype ratio is 100% green pods and 0% yellow pods.

    (Your teacher probably does not want to hear about small sample size.)
