Question

in snapdragon flowers, petal color shows incomplete dominance. a red - flowered plant (rr) is crossed with a white - flowered plant (ww). what phenotype is expected in their offspring (rw)?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify parental genotypes

Red parent: $RR$, White parent: $WW$

Step2: Determine gametes produced

Red parent gametes: $R$, White parent gametes: $W$

Step3: Cross gametes for offspring

All offspring get $R + W$, so genotype $RW$

Step4: Apply incomplete dominance

In incomplete dominance, heterozygous $RW$ shows a blended phenotype (not red or white, but intermediate pink).

Answer:

Pink flowers
