A botanist mates a plant with red flowers to a plant with white flowers. the f1 plants all contain pink flowers. what set of rul
es does this exhibit? what do we know about the genotypes of the p generation plants?
1 answer:
Answer:
The color alleles exhibit incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance means that not one of the alleles has complete dominance over the other. Therefore, the trait/phenotype exhibited by the organism is the intermediate between the two alleles. This is also similar to offpsing of parent with straight and wavy hair alleles. The offspring will exhibit wavy hair trait.
In the f2 generation, 50 % of offspring will have pink flowers while 25% will have red and 25% will have white.
