1) A == 0 Zero is the correct answer . All will be Red flowered In F1 generation !!!

Reply:The answer is A. zero





The cross would actually look like this:


Let:


R=red


r=yellow





RR x rr=all Rr





In heterozygous condition the recessive allele is masked hence the dominant allele is the one manifested.





All offspring would be red-flowered hence there would be no yellow-flowered offspring.
