In a plant that has red flowers, red flower color (R) is completely dominant to white flower color (r). If the plant is heterozygous for flower color, which alleles will be carried by the gametes it produces?

If the plant is **heterozygous **for flower color, it carries **R **and **r **gametes for **flower **color.
What is a heterozygous condition?
**Red **and white flowering plants will be generated in equal amounts when the **heterozygous **red ( dominant ) flower (Rr) is crossed with the white flower rr .
One normal allele , one mutant allele, or two separate mutant alleles may be present in a heterozygous **genotype **(compound heterozygote). Each gene in each of us has two alleles or variations .
If you **inherit **two identical copies of a gene, you are said to be **homozygous **for that gene. Everyone who possesses a **recessive **characteristic is homozygous for that gene .
Therefore, it carries **R **and **r **gametes for flower color, due to **heterozygous **conditions.

The gametes produced by a heterozygous red flower plant (Rr) will carry one of two alleles: R (red) and r (white). These gametes can combine with others to produce offspring with different flower colors. Consequently, the gametes are either R or r depending on the combination from the parent plant.
