Question

Explain how the F1 plants had produced pink flowers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The F1-hybrid plants have a different phenotype (pink flowers) than either of the true-breeding parents. This is an example of incomplete dominance. When the F1-hybrid plants are self-fertilized, both parental phenotypes (red flowered plants and white flowered plants) reappear in the F2 generation.

Answer 2

pink flowers are the result of a blending of the red and white genotypes. flower color is due to 2 or more complementary genes. heterozygous plants have a different phenotype than either inbred parent because of incomplete dominance of the dominant allele.
