When a pure bred, red flower-producing plant of genotype rr is crossed with a pure bred, white flower-producing plant of genotype rr, all the f1 plants produced pink flowers. If all the plants in each generation from f1 to f6 are selfed, what will be the percentage of plants with red and white flowers in the final population consisting of a large number of individuals? (consider that flower colour has no effect on reproduction and survival.)?

Answer:
25% red flower, 50% pink flower and 25% white flower.
Explanation:
Mendel is known as the father of the genetics. He had explained the law of segregation, law of independent assortment and the concept of the dominance.
The cross breeding of pure red flower (RR) and pure white flower (rr), the pink flowers are produced ( Rr). The selfing of pink flowers can be explained by the cross
Rr × Rr
Gametes R and r
Offspring : RR ( red flower), Rr, Rr ( pink flower) and rr ( white flower).
Thus, 25% red flower, 50% pink flower and 25% white flower.
