Solution

The correct option is B 50
The percentage of heterozygous individuals obtained in F2 generation from selfing the plants with genotype Rr would be 50.

This is because in F2 generation the ratio between heterozygous and homozygous is 1:1. It means that it yields two homozygous individuals and 2 heterozygous individuals. Hence the final answer is 50%.

So, the correct answer is option B.
