n snapdragons, alleles resulting in red pigment and white pigment exhibit incomplete dominance. If red snapdragons are crossed with pure white snapdragons the offspring of the F1 generation will be Blank______.Multiple choice question.pinkredwhitedark red
Solution
The answer is pink.
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.
-
In this case, the red pigment (R) and white pigment (W) are the two alleles. The red snapdragons are RR, and the white snapdragons are WW.
-
When they are crossed, the offspring (F1 generation) will have one allele from each parent, so they will be RW.
-
Because of incomplete dominance, neither the red nor the white trait is dominant, so the resulting color is a blend of the two, which is pink.
