Solution

The correct option is D 32

A heterozygous red flowered plant(Rr) is crossed to homozygous recessive white flowered plant(rr). In the next generation, 50% heterozygous red flowered plants and 50% homozygous recessive white flowered plants are formed. If 64 plants are formed, 32 are heterozygous red flowers, 32 are homozygous recessive white flowered plants.

So, the correct option is ‘32’.
