Solution

The correct option is C 25%
Plants having genotype TtRr produce 4 different kinds of gametes.TR, Tr, tR, tr.
TtRr

Gametes: TR, Tr, tR, tr
One of the four gametes carry recessive alleles for both the characters (tr).
Hence, the percentage of gametes with two recessive alleles is ¼ x 100% = 25%.
