The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Incomplete Dominance**: Incomplete dominance is a genetic phenomenon where the phenotype of heterozygous individuals is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygous parents. This means that neither allele is completely dominant over the other. 2. **Mendel's Laws**: Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygous condition, the dominant allele will mask the effect of the recessive allele. However, in incomplete dominance, this masking does not occur, and the traits blend together. 3. **Example of Incomplete Dominance**: A classic example of incomplete dominance can be observed in snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus). When a red-flowered plant (CR) is crossed with a white-flowered plant (CW), the resulting offspring (F1 generation) exhibit a pink flower color (CRCW), which is a blend of the two parental traits. 4. **Identifying the Organism**: The question asks where incomplete dominance is found. Based on the example provided, we can conclude that snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) are a prime example of incomplete dominance. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Incomplete dominance is found in" is **Antirrhinum majus** (snapdragons).
