incomplete dominance is seen in snapdragon. The allele that causes red flowers (F) is not completely dominant over the allele that causes white flowers (f). when a plant is heterozygous for the trait of flower color (Ff), pink flowers result. Cross two pink snapdragons, and provide the genotypic and phenotypic of all the offspring

Answer:

1 FF (red) : 2 Ff (pink) : 1 ff (white)

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes for flower color in snapdragons are:

FF = red flowers

Ff = Pink flowers

ff = white flowers

The cross between two pink snapdragons can be written as follows:

Ff x Ff

Each heterozygous snapdragon will produce two types of gametes: F and f. When they cross, a gamete from one parent joins (randomly) the gamete of the other parent, creating an individual from the progeny.

Therefore, the offspring resulting from this cross will be:

1 FF (red) : 2 Ff (pink) : 1 ff (white).
