In the plants, due to mutation in the mitochondrial genome causing cytoplasmic male sterility can be influenced by the nuclear gene (Rf),  which is dominant over the cytoplasmic mitochondrial genome. If a male sterile plant  is pollinated by the fertile male plant with homozygous (Rf)condition, the progeny obtained in F1 will have
