Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If two hybrids are crossed, meaning two heterozygous pink flowers, the chances that the offspring will have pink flowers is 50%.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the probability that the offspring produced by two pink snapdragons will also be pink is 50 percent.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘25%’.
Detailed explanation-4: -50% Correct! The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is rr. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink.
Detailed explanation-5: -So that tells us that there’s a 25% chance for one in four chance of white flowers.
