Answer:

RW

Step-by-step explanation:

Red and white follows a codominant pattern, which means they are both dominant. Dominant allles are capital letters so the genotypes of the parents are:

Red flower - RR

White flower - WW

The offspring will receive one allele from each parent, so they will inherit one R and one W, making the genotype of the offspring RW
