Answer: 1:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a cross between pink mellia plants produced the following offspring: 7 plants with red flowers, 7 with white flowers, and 14 with pink flowers.

The ratio of red to white to pink will be:

= 7:7:14

Note that 7 is a common factor in the above ratio, therefore we'll reduce it to the lowest term which will be:

= 1:1:2
