MONOHYBRID CROSS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Red flowers (R) are dominant to white flowers (r). What percentage of the offspring will be white if I cross the following parents? Rrxrr
A
25%
B
100%
C
0%
D
50%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Alright, you know that the RR genotype gives red flowers. This happens in one combination, so 1/4 of the offspring will have red flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The genotypes of the offspring can be determined by crossing the red flowers, RR, with the white flowers, rr. Offspring: all offspring are Rr. Incomplete dominance means that neither color shows dominance in the hybrid generation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 21: A cross between a red and white snapdragon will yield 100% pink offspring. This pattern of inheritance is described as incomplete dominance, meaning that neither of the alleles is completely dominant over the other: both alleles can be seen at the same time.

Detailed explanation-4: -RR (Red) Antirrhinum/Snapdragon is crossed with white (WW) one. Offspring RW are pink.
