Answer 1

There are different three types of dominance:

• Complete Dominance ,= The dominant trait/allele completely masks the recessive trait/allele.

,

• Incomplete Dominance, = The heterozygous individual will possess a phenotype that is intermediate between the dominant trait and the recessive trait.

,

• Codominance, = Both the dominant trait/allele and recessive trait/allele get expressed by the offspring.

IF a white snapdragon is crossed with a red snapdragon granted that they will have incomplete dominance, the offspring will be all pink.
