Answer:

The plant would be red.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be red because red leaves are a recessive trait which has lowercase b's so if the genotype for the plant is bb, it would be red. If the plant had BB, it would be brown and if it had Bb it would be brown but, it would be a carrier of the red gene.
