Genes controlling the red color (Dominant) with genotypes RR

Explanation:

  • In Mendelian crosses, the Dominance effect is observed when one allele masks or suppresses the effect of another allele.
  • The dominant allele is denoted by capital letter whereas the recessive allele is denoted by a small letter.
  • In the given question since the produced offsprings are of red color only, therefore, the red color gene is dominant.
  • Now, let us assume the red color is determined by homozygous pair of alleles: RR and white by rr.

    R   R

r   Rr  Rr

r   Rr  Rr  

  • All offsprings produced are Rr (Red color)
