Answer:

One of the parents is heterozygous for red (Rr) and the other is homozygous for white (rr)

Explanation:

The ratio of red flowers to white flowers is roughly 50:50 in this cross (51:47)

Assuming red is the dominant trait, and white is the recessive trait, the parents would be Rr (heterozygous red) x rr (homozygous white).

The resulting punnet square (attached) shows that the genotypes are 50% Rr and 50% rr, which would be 50% red and 50% white. Therefore the parents are RR and Rr.

If red is the recessive phenotype, then the opposite would be true, the white parent would be heterozygous and the red parent would be homozygous.

<h2>d) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

The unfertilized egg contains various organelles and a liquid solution that fills the cell which is called the cytoplasm

Within that cytoplasm are various molecules containing genetic information or chemicals to spark various reactions, called cytoplasmic determinants

Some are different kinds of proteins, most are molecules of RNA and these determinants are unevenly distributed across the egg and then, once it's fertilized, the zygote

Once this zygote undergoes cleavage division, all of these random determinants that were in the same cell are suddenly in different blastomere cells, which means that these blastomeres each contain a different assortment of molecules
