Question

A plant with white flowers is crossed with a plant with red flowers. Some of the offspring have pink flowers. This is an example of _____.

multiple genes
incomplete dominance
codominance
mutation

Answer 1

I'd say incomplete dominance.

Incomplete dominance occurs when a gene doesn't have a complete and total dominance over another, therefore, you will still be able to see traces of the less dominant gene in the offspring.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

incomplete dominance

Step-by-step explanation:

Pink flowers occur because the allele for red flowers is not completely dominant over the allele for white flowers.

In biology, incomplete dominance refers to the specific characteristic of an allele not being completely expressed over its paired allele. As a result, a new hybrid allele is formed.

In this case, the red flower allele is not completely expressed over the white flower allele, resulting in pink flowers.
