Question

When crossing two heterozygous snapdragons (Rr) exhibiting incomplete dominance, what phenotypic ratio is expected in the F2 generation?
Options
A 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White
Correct Answer
B 3 Red : 1 White
C 1 Red : 1 Pink : 1 White
D 2 Red : 1 Pink : 1 White
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Incomplete dominance modifies the classic 3:1 Mendelian ratio into a 1:2:1 phenotypic ratio (1 RR red : 2 Rr pink : 1 rr white) because the heterozygote exhibits a blended phenotype.
