Vedclass · Answer

(B) According to Mendel's law of dominance,when a pure dominant trait is crossed with a pure recessive trait,the $F_1$ generation expresses only the dominant trait.Here,the red flower color $(R)$ is dominant over the white flower color $(r)$.When a pure red-flowered plant $(RR)$ is crossed with a pure white-flowered plant $(rr)$,all offspring in the $F_1$ generation will have the genotype $Rr$.Since $R$ is dominant,all $F_1$ plants will be red-flowered.$\mathop {RR}\limits_{	ext{(Pure Red)}} 	imes \mathop {rr}\limits_{	ext{(Pure White)}} \xrightarrow{} Rr 	ext{ (All Red-flowered plants)}$
