Parents :  TtYy = Tall and Yellow    and   Ttyy = Tall and Green 

Gamenets formed : From TtYy = TY , Ty , tY , ty and From Ttyy = Ty , ty 

In F1 generation 8 gametes are formed using a Punnett square that is 

TY x TY = TTYy = Tall and Yellow 

TY x ty = TtYy = Tall and Yellow 

Ty x Ty = TTyy = Tall and Green 

Ty x ty = Ttyy = Tall and Green 

ty x Ty = Ttyy = Tall and Green 

ty x ty = ttyy = Dwarf and green 

tY x Ty = TtYy = Tall and Yellow 

tY x ty = ttYy = Dwarf and green 
 

Phenotype : Tall yellow : Tall green : Dwarf yellow : Dwarf green would be 3 : 3 : 1 : 1  respectively.

Therefore the proportion of tall and green phenotype is 3/8 and the proportion of dwarf and green phenotype is 1/8.
