If two pink snapdragon plants displaying incomplete dominance are crossed, what percent of offspring would you predict as also having pink flowers? Show your work on your paper. (3B3)
A
0%
B
25%
C
50%
D
100%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the probability that the offspring produced by two pink snapdragons will also be pink is 50 percent.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘25%’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Snapdragon also shows incomplete dominance by producing pink-colored snapdragon flowers. The cross-pollination between red and white snapdragons leads to pink color flowers because none of the alleles (white and red) is dominant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cross between two pink flowers is as below: 25% of the offspring will be red, 25% will be white, and the rest of the 50% will be pink in color.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Two pink colored flowers on crossing resulted in 1 red, 2 pink, and 1 white flower progeny.
