GG= green, gg=white, Gg= variegated (Codominance)

1)GG*gg=Gg,Gg,Gg,Gg
2)gg*GG=same sh!t
3)Gg*GG=GG,GG,Gg,Gg
4)GG*Gg=GG,Gg,GG,Gg

This is all assuming that variegation is caused by codominance. If it is cause by an autosomal recessive mutation then the only time that variegation occurs will be when you have two g's together.
