Problem 6

In a population of flower plants, there's a gene that determines flower color. The gene follows strict autosomal dominant-recessive inheritance. Red color (R) is dominant, and white color (r) is recessive. A plant breeder has two parent plants: one with genotype Rr and another with genotype rr. What is the probability that their offspring will have red flowers?
