Answer:

The probability of inheriting an r allele from the Rr plant is 1 out of 2, or 1/2. The probability of inheriting an r allele from the rr plant is 1. 1/2 × 1 equals 1/2.

The genotype in Rr there is a dominant in it, as the rr is recessive the dominant will most likely cross out the recessive. Say the Dominant R was brown eyes. And the Little r is blue eyes, the offspring will most likely to be Rr, brown eyes. it'll be a 50% for the offspring to be rr , blue eyes. it can be , but not likely.
