The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of crossing a homozygous red flowered plant with a homozygous white flowered plant, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes of the Parents:** - The homozygous red flowered plant has the genotype **RR** (where R represents the allele for red flowers). - The homozygous white flowered plant has the genotype **WW** (where W represents the allele for white flowers). 2. **Determine the Gametes Produced by Each Parent:** - The red flowered plant (RR) can only produce gametes with the allele R. - The white flowered plant (WW) can only produce gametes with the allele W. 3. **Perform the Cross:** - When we cross these two plants, we combine the gametes from each parent: - R (from RR) x W (from WW) results in RW. - Since both parents are homozygous, all offspring will have the genotype RW. 4. **Determine the Phenotype of the Offspring:** - The genotype RW indicates that the offspring will express the red flower trait because red (R) is dominant over white (W). - Therefore, all the offspring will have red flowers. 5. **Conclusion:** - The offspring of the cross between a homozygous red flowered plant and a homozygous white flowered plant will all be red flowered. ### Final Answer: All offspring will be red flowered.
