Question

A Pansy is a small flowering plant. You often see many red and many white flowers in outdoor garden beds. If the red and white colors
follow a codominant pattern, what is the genotype for the offspring of a cross between a red flower and a white flower?
A. W
B. RR
C. RW
D. Ww

Answer 1

Answer:

RW

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
