What Causes an Apple to Be True to Seed?

The answer can be seen on the brainly site as an example “An apple plant has two dominant alleles for red apples, RR. If it is crossed with another plant that has recessive genes for green apples, rr, which percentage of the offspring will have red apples, assuming random chromosome segregation?”
Homozygous dominant x Homozygous recessive = Heterozygous dominant. In other words 100% of all the apples are Rr. That will not be the case in the next generation https://www.stat.washington.edu/thompson/Genetics/1.3_genotypes.html in the case of the wolf river apple those genes will show up again later. See this link What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?. As you can see its a matter of time and some genes show back up which will once again make an apple that looks just like ( more or less) the original apple. The wolf river is a very rare situation and not every apple will look like the parent. Some people might cross wickson or another highly flavorful apple with wolf river knowing the results would be some very large apples. Etter was an apple breeder who bred diverse combinations such as that The Ettersburg Apple Legacies.
