Question

Suppose you have monohybrid snapdragons in your garden and you find that they produce red seeds to white seeds in the ratio of 3:1. If the alleles are designated R (red seeds) and r (white seeds), what are the probable genotypes of the snapdragons in your garden?
RR and Rr
RR only
RR and rr
Rr only
rr only

Answer 1

its RR and Rr hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Rr only

Explanation:

As you saw in the question above, in a population of snapdragons, the "R" allele is the dominant allele and represents the red seeds, while the "r" allele is recessive and represents the white seeds.

If there was a cross between a snapdragon with the "RR" alleles and a snapdragons with the "rr" alleles, the entire offspring would receive an allele from each parent and as a result, the entire offspring would have the "Rr" alleles and be red seeds, since recessive alleles are only expressed when paired with other recessive alleles.

You can see the punnet square for this intersection in the figure below.
