  • Q #3: In a certain plant, red flowers are dominant over white flowers. A plant heterozygous for red flowers and a plant with white flowers are crossed. Which of the following is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the next generation?

    A. 3 red, 1 white

    B. 1 white, 3 red

    C. 2 red, 2 white

    D. 4 white

    Answer Explanation

    2 red, 2 white.

    In this cross, the plant heterozygous for red flowers has the genotype Rr (where R represents the dominant red allele and r represents the recessive white allele), while the plant with white flowers has the genotype rr.

    The possible offspring from this cross would have the genotypes Rr (red), Rr (red), rr (white), and rr (white), resulting in a 1:1 ratio of red to white flowers.
