An apple tree can reproduce both sexually and asexually. A botanist crosses a red-fruited apple tree (Rr) with a yellow-fruited apple tree (rr). Of the ten plants produced, five grow red fruit and five grow yellow fruit.

The botanist cuts pieces from the red-fruited apple tree’s branches, places them in soil, and waits for them to grow new roots, leaves, and fruits. The botanist learns that when this red-fruited apple plant reproduces asexually, the fruits of its offspring are always red.
