Solution

The correct option is A 4
This could be calculated by using Punnet square.
Genotype: RRYY X rryy
Gametes: RY ry
F1 Generation: RrYy
Selfing of F1
Genotype: RrYy X RrYy
Gametes: RY, Ry, rY and ry X RY, Ry, rY and ry
F2 Generation:
RRYY RRYy RrYY RrYy
RRYyRRyyRrYyRryy
RrYYRrYyrrYYrrYy
RrYy Rryy rrYy rryy
Thus, it is clear that RrYy occurs 4 times in F2 generation.
