In a certain plant, red flowers $(R)$ are dominant to white flowers $(r)$ and tallness $(T)$ is dominant to dwarfness $(t)$. $A$ heterozygous plant $(RrTt)$ is backcrossed with a double recessive plant $(rrtt)$. If the gene loci for colour and size are situated very close together on the same chromosome, the expected percentage of offspring could be approximately:
Tall RedTall WhiteDwarf RedDwarf White

respectively.
