Incomplete dominance is when a cross between two true breeds (homozygous) having different genotypes and phenotypes result in an heterozygous offspring expressing a third trait, usually a blend of those of the parents.
An example is crossing between red and white roses resulting in pink roses.
The condition to conclude incomplete dominance is that the heterozygous individual expresses a trait which is different from, and is a blend of, the traits of the parents.
Answer: 2. The phenotype would be 100 percent pink.
3. All flowers would have Red and White phenotype. in other words, both colors would appear on the flower with little to no mixing of the colors.

Answer:
A new plant
Explanation:
Many plants reproduce asexually as well as sexually. In asexual reproduction, part of the parent plant is used to generate a new plant.
Antibiotic resistance happens naturally due to genetic mutation through random selection, however, genetic drift occurs on purpose and tests which genes are stronger and should continue to be passed on to future generations. In most cases, genetic drift is needed and antibiotic resistance isn’t.
Spines primarily have a protective function in plants. The spines can be sharp, and form a physical barrier against herbivores which may want to feed on the plant. Spines however also have other benefits. The spines on a jumping cactus allow segments of the cactus to stick to passing large animals or humans, thereby allowing the cactus to spread to other areas through asexual propagation. Spines are modified leaves, and spines have a much lower surface area than leaves, and therefore can reduce transpirative loss of water by the plant during harsh droughts. Some trees in alpine regions, such as pine trees, have developed spine-like leaves to prevent the accumulation of snow in the branches.
