Question

Two plants are crossed to produce offspring. One parent plant has dark blue flowers, and the other parent plant has white flowers. Flower color in these plants is a codominant trait. Which of these is a possible description of the offspring? some flowers with white petals and some with light blue petals some flowers with dark blue petals and some with white petals all flowers with light blue petals all flowers with some dark blue petals and some white petals

Answer 1

During combination of parents DNA there is possibility

a) genes of one parent is dominant over other

b) both are resessive

c) both are dominant, and will not affect each other to being displayed as trait and thus appears together. These are known as Codominant

For example colour of eyes of an offspring having intermeditate colour of light brown and black. So in case of flowers as the flower color is codominant trait there are following possibilities

Some flowers with dark blue petals and some with white petals

Answer 2

D.) All flowers with some dark blue petals and some white petals.

Explanation: In Codominance the alleles are neither recessive nor dominant; and both alleles are expressed in the offspring. Therefore, all the offspring would be two-colored flowers.
