Question

Which of the following represents a heterozygous genotype for the given traits (dominant = red flowers, recessive = white flowers)?

A) rr
B) RR
C) L/l
D) phenotype
E) genotype
F) S/s
G) Rr

Answer 1

The heterozygous genotype for red and white flowers, where dominant is red and recessive is white, is represented by Rr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genotype that represents a heterozygous condition for the given traits, where dominant is red flowers and recessive is white flowers, is G) Rr. This is because in a heterozygous genotype, there is one dominant (R) and one recessive allele (r). This results in a genotype that has different alleles for the gene in question. In the example provided, RR would be homozygous dominant and rr would be homozygous recessive, whereas Rr is heterozygous showing an intermediate phenotype, often referred to as incomplete dominance, where neither the red (R) nor the white (r) allele is completely dominant.
