Snapdragons, a flowering plant popular with gardeners, can have red, white, and pink colored petals. When snapdragons with red petals (RR) are crossed with snapdragons having white (rr) petals, the offspring have pink petals. The pink coloration (Rr) is a phenotype in between the red and white parental phenotypes. What is this kind of inheritance pattern called?

It is called incomplete dominance, where both parents don't overcome another allele, and that's how it results in a new phenotype.
