The chance of getting a red flower if two pink flowered plants are crossed is 25% or ¼.

<h3>WHAT IS INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE?</h3>

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance in which two alleles of a gene are neither dominant or recessive, hence, a intermediate phenotype is produced.

According to this question, in snapdragons, petal color is inherited through incomplete dominance with the possible colors being red, white, and pink.

If two pink flowered plants are crossed i.e. Pp × Pp, the genotype of the offsprings that will be produced as follows:

  • PP (1) - red flower
  • Pp (2) - pink flower
  • pp (1) - white flower

Therefore, the chance of getting a red flower if two pink flowered plants are crossed is 25% or ¼.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Koch's postulates".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

a) spontaneous generation

b) Koch's postulates

c) epidemiology

d) vaccination

The correct answer is option b) "Koch's postulates".

Koch's postulates propose four criteria used to establish that a pathogen is responsible for a disease. In his famous experiments, Robert Koch was able to prove that <em>Bacillus anthracis</em> is the cause of anthrax by injecting to a mouse an isolated culture from the blood of an injected sheep. The scenario established in the question is very similar to anthrax, and the scientific approach to look for the pathogen of the disease is following the principles of Koch's postulates.
