Answer:Apparent blending can occur in the phenotype when there is incomplete dominance resulting in an intermediate expression of a trait in heterozygous individuals.

Explanation: For instance, in primroses, snapdragons, and four-o'clocks, red or white flowers are homozygous while pink ones are heterozygous. The pink flowers result because the single "red" allele is unable to code for the production of enough red pigment to make the petals dark red.

Answer: The inheritance pattern is incomplete dominance

Explanation: Incomplete dominance is a heterozygous or intermediate condition in which one of the two alleles at a gene locus for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. One of the two alleles for a particular trait is not completely dominant over the other allele paired with. Incomplete dominance results in another (a third) phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a blend of the traits of the two incomplete dominant alleles.
