Two snapdragon plants are crossed. One plant produces red flowers and the other plant produces white flowers. The cross between
these two plants produces snapdragon plants with pink flowers. Which statement explains why the offspring have pink flowers? * A. The offspring have two copies of the allele that codes for pink.
B. The offspring have one allele that codes for red and one allele that codes for white.
C. The flower color is determined by the dominant parent.
D. The flower color is determined by environmental conditions.
The answer in B) The offspring have one allele that codes for red and one allele that codes for white.
Explanation:
Let's say that the red flower has Bb, and the white flower has bb. In a punnet square you'd get 50% being Bb and another 50% being bb. The allele bb would be pink.
