In pea plants,red flowers $(R)$ are dominant over white flowers $(r)$ and tall plants $(T)$ are dominant over dwarf plants $(t)$. The table below shows the gametes and the possible offspring produced in a dihybrid cross. The numbers $1$ to $16$ represent the genotypes of each individual cross $(e.g., 3 = RrTT)$.
$RT$$Rt$$rT$$rt$
$RT$$1$$2$$3$$4$
$Rt$$5$$6$$7$$8$
$rT$$9$$10$$11$$12$
$rt$$13$$14$$15$$16$

If plant $7$ is crossed with plant $12$,then what proportion of the offspring produced will be homozygous for both the recessive characters (in $\%$)?

  • A
    $50$
  • B
    $37.5$
  • C
    $25$
  • D
    $12.5$
