The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the progeny of hybrid red flowered pea plants crossed back to pure red flowered parent, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Genotypes**: - The hybrid red flowered plant can be represented as heterozygous (Rr), where 'R' is the dominant allele for red flowers and 'r' is the recessive allele for white flowers. - The pure red flowered parent is homozygous dominant (RR). 2. **Identify the Cross**: - We are performing a back cross of the hybrid red flowered plant (Rr) with the pure red flowered plant (RR). 3. **Determine the Gametes**: - The hybrid red flowered plant (Rr) can produce two types of gametes: R and r. - The pure red flowered plant (RR) can only produce one type of gamete: R. 4. **Set Up the Punnett Square**: - Create a Punnett square to visualize the possible combinations of gametes: ``` R R __________ R | RR | RR | |______|______| r | Rr | Rr | |______|______| ``` 5. **Analyze the Progeny**: - From the Punnett square, we can see the possible genotypes of the progeny: - 2 RR (homozygous dominant) - 2 Rr (heterozygous) - All progeny will express the dominant phenotype, which is red flowers. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the progeny from this cross will show all red flowered plants. ### Final Answer: The progeny will show **A) all red flower plants**. ---
