Two pink-flowering plants are crossed. The offspring flower as follows: 25% red, 25% white, 50% pink.?

What pattern of inheritance does flower color in these flowers follow?


is it...


-dominance


-recessiveness


-multiple alleles


-polygenic traits


-incomplete dominance
Two pink-flowering plants are crossed. The offspring flower as follows: 25% red, 25% white, 50% pink.?
R = Red


r = White





Rr x Rr








All offspring possible: RR, Rr, Rr, rr





RR = Red and 25% = 1 out of 4


Rr = Pink and 50% = 2 out of 4


rr = White and 25% = 1 out of 4





Incomplete Dominance
Reply:Jay2 this is obviously a case of INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE. Since neither the red nor the white is dominant over the other this results in the mixing of genotype giving pink phenotype. This is usually the case for the second generation between a cross of a red and a white-flowered plant. The actual specimen used to know this inheritance was the flowers of Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus).





Hope this helps...
Reply:reccesive red, reccesive white.
Reply:incomplete dominance
