    1 out of 4

    or

    25%

    Explanation:

    First we draw a Punnett Square for this:

    R r

    R RR Rr

    r Rr rr

    So here we have the following genotypes possible for this cross:

    RR = homozygous dominant

    Rr = heterozygous dominant

    rr = homozygous recessive

    As you can see out of the four (4) possible outcomes, one (1) of them is rr. So the probability is 1 out of 4 chances or 25%.
