Kip studies flower color in petunias, where the allele for red flowers, R, is dominant to the allele for white flowers, r. If Kip makes the cross RR x rr, the gametes that are produced

Answer
A
will all carry the r allele.
B
will all carry the R allele.
C
by one parent will carry R and by the other parent will carry r.
D
by one parent will carry Rr and by the other parent will carry rR.

Explanation

An RR parent can produce only gametes carrying R, while an rr parent can produce only gametes carrying r. Therefore, the gametes from one parent carry R and those from the other carry r, as choice C states. Each offspring would receive one allele from each parent and have genotype Rr.
