After crossing purebred red (dominant) and purebred white (recessive) flowers, pink flowers appeared. Using symbols, show the cross between pink and white flowers.

Rr × rr
(pink) (white)

R r r

Therefore, Rr = pink and rr = white

Hope this helps!

Since after crossing a red and a white flower produced pink flowers, the red color trait shows an incomplete dominance and has a genotype of Rr.
Using the Punnett to determine the cross between pink and white flowers:
| R | r |
r | Rr | rr |
r | Rr | rr |

The results indicate that the cross between pink and white flowers will produce a ratio of 1:1 pink to white flowers.
