AOnly RR offspring will have red flowers.
BOnly Rr offspring will have red flowers.
CAll offspring with at least one R will have red flowers.
DBecause of the law of dominance, all offspring will have red flowers.

According to Mendel s law of dominance, which statement best describes the result of a cross between parents with genotypes Rr and Rr? A) Only RR offspring will class=

Verified Answer :

c is definitely the answer

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) All offspring with at least one R will have red flowers.  

Mendel's law of dominance states that the phenotype which is expressed in the heterozygous condition is the dominant trait and the allele responsible for that trait is a dominant allele. The other allele is termed as a recessive allele.

In addition, the dominant allele expresses itself over the recessive allele.

Thus, the individual with at least one dominant allele, that is, R in this case, will have the dominant trait, that is, red flowers.

So, the offsprings with RR and Rr genotype will have red flower phenotype.
