Question

Choose the set of traits that would complete this Punnett square. R r on top, R r on side.
Options
A RR, RR, Rr, Rr
B RR, Rr, Rr, rr
Correct Answer
C Rr, rr, RR, Rr
D Rr, RR, rr, RR
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A Punnett square for a cross between two heterozygotes (Rr x Rr) yields the following genotypic combinations: Top row, left box: R from first and R from second = RR. Top row, right box: R from first and r from second = Rr. Bottom row, left box: r from first and R from second = Rr. Bottom row, right box: r from first and r from second = rr. So the square is filled with RR, Rr, Rr, rr.

Hint

Do the cross: Rr x Rr. What are the four possible genotype combinations?
