Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Snapdragon flowers come in red, pink and white. What type of inheritance is this?
A
Complete Dominance
B
Incomplete Dominance
C
Codominance
D
Polygenic Inheritance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Figure 21: A cross between a red and white snapdragon will yield 100% pink offspring. This pattern of inheritance is described as incomplete dominance, meaning that neither of the alleles is completely dominant over the other: both alleles can be seen at the same time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inheritance of color in snapdragon is an example of Incomplete Dominance. It is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a particular trait is not expressed completely over its paired allele.

Detailed explanation-3: -In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The allele for red is R and the allele for white is W.

Detailed explanation-4: -Example of incomplete dominance:-Cross pollination between red snapdragon and white snapdragon result in pink snapdragon. Here, neither the white allele or red allele is dominant.-The pink colour results from the blending of both the two alleles that are white allele or white and red allele.
