Answer:

Depending on how the gene works, it might result in an orange flower or in a flower that’s just yellow or in one that’s just red—but with the potential to have offspring of a different color. Such a flower would be said to be heterozygous for flower color, because it’s got a copy of one yellow allele and one red allele.
