Suppose you have monohybrid snapdragons in your garden and you find that they produce red seeds to white seeds in the ratio of 3:1. If the alleles are designated R (red seeds) and r (white seeds), what are the probable phenotypes of the parents (P1) ?.

The probable phenotypes of both the parents must be Red seeds since the allele for Red seed is dominant (R). However, the genotype for both the parents must be Rr with the recessive allele present for the white seed.
