A type of flower called the Rhododendron has a CW allele that leads to red flower color and a Cw allele that leads to white flower color. Rhododendrons with the heterozygous genotype CWCW have flowers with red and white patches. If you crossed two heterozygous Rhododendrons, what flower phenotype ratios would you expect in the offspring? O a) 50% red, 50% white O b) 100% red-and-white patches Oc) 9 red: 3 white: 1 red-and-white patches O d) 25% white, 25% red, 50% red-and-white patches

crossed two heterozygous Rhododendrons, what flower phenotype ratios would you
expect in the offspring?
O a) 50% red, 50% white
O b) 100% red-and-white patches
O c) 9 red: 3 white: 1 red-and-white patches
d) 25% white, 25% red, 50% red-and-white patches
