Answer:

Explanation:
A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses.
Answer: If the F2 occurs in the ratio 9 blue:3 pink:4 white, one gene pair (i.e 2 genes) control the flower color phenotype.
Explanation: This principle is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE where one gene (dominant) won't completely override the other (recessive).
Let assume B represents the dominant gene and b represents the reccesive gene. Let also assume that Blue color is dominant over white color. We can assign the genotype as follows;
Homozygous dominant genes BB will produce Blue color
Homozygous recessive genes bb will produce white color
Heterozygous genes Bb will produce pink color.
Therefore, a pair of gene ( 2 genes) will determine the flower color phenotype.
