Solution

To answer this question, we need more information about the genetic makeup of the parents and the type of cross being performed.

In Mendelian genetics, if we are dealing with a monohybrid cross (one trait being studied) of two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa), then the ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the F1 generation is typically 3:1.

However, if the cross is between a homozygous dominant parent (AA) and a homozygous recessive parent (aa), all F1 offspring will show the dominant trait because they will all be heterozygous (Aa).

If the cross is between a homozygous recessive parent (aa) and a heterozygous parent (Aa), then the ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the F1 generation is 1:1.

So, without more information about the parents and the type of cross, it's impossible to determine how many of the 100 F1 progeny plants will show the recessive trait.
