To explain how a cross between a red flower-bearing plant and a white flower-bearing plant of Antirrhinum (snapdragon) produces all plants with pink flowers, we need to delve into the concepts of genetics, specifically incomplete dominance. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Define the Genotypes - Let’s denote the red flower allele as **R** (dominant) and the white flower allele as **r** (recessive). - The genotype of the red flower plant is **RR** (homozygous dominant). - The genotype of the white flower plant is **rr** (homozygous recessive). ### Step 2: Perform the Cross ...
