In a monohybrid cross of plants with red and white flowered plants. Mendel got only red flowered plants. On self-pollinating these `F_(1)` plants got both red and white flowered plants in 3:1 ratio. Explain the basis of using RR and rr symbols to represnt the genotype of plants of parental generation.

To explain the basis of using the symbols RR and rr to represent the genotype of plants in Mendel's monohybrid cross of red and white flowered plants, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Parental Generation**: - In Mendel's experiment, he started with two purebred (true-breeding) plants: one with red flowers and one with white flowers. - The red flowered plant is represented by the genotype RR (homozygous dominant), and the white flowered plant is represented by the genotype rr (homozygous recessive). ...
