Question

Which of the following is consistent with the hypothesis of blending inheritance?

A. Crossing a purple-flowered pea plant with a white-flowered pea plant
produces only purple-flowered offspring
B. Great variability in traits is found within any biological population.
C. Crossing two pea plants with yellow seeds produces some offspring with
green seeds
D. A phenotype from the "P" generation of a heredity experiment disappears in
the "F1" generation then reappears in the "F2" generation
E. Crossing a red flower with a white flower yields a pink flower

Answer 1

E. Crossing a red flower with a white flower yields a pink flower

The hypothesis of blending inheritance states that the traits received by an organism resulting from sexual reproduction are intermediate between the traits of its parents. In this case, one parent was red and the other was white, and the offspring got the intermediate trait, which was pink.
