Snapdragons, a flowering plant popular with gardeners, can have red, white, and pink colored petals. When

snapdragons with red petals (RR) are crossed with snapdragons having white (WW) petals, the offspring have pink
petals. The pink coloration (RW) is a phenotype in between the red and white parental phenotypes. What is this kind of
inheritance pattern called?
classic dominance
bipolar inheritance
incomplete dominance
D)
recessive inheritance

Hey there!

This type of inheritance pattern is called incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance happens when two dominant genes are together in one phenotype and neither one can gain complete control. This results in the pink color of the snapdragon flowers.

I hope this answers your question!!

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be incomplete dominance because neither of the alleles completely dominate the other.
