Question

when a flower with a red phenotype is crossed with a white phenotype in codominance, what will be the outcome for the offspring? red phenotype red and white phenotype white phenotype

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In codominance, both alleles are expressed simultaneously in the phenotype of the heterozygote. When a flower with red phenotype (let's assume its genotype is \(RR\)) is crossed with a flower with white phenotype (let's assume its genotype is \(WW\)), the offspring will have a genotype of \(RW\). Since it is codominance, both the red - pigment - producing allele (\(R\)) and the white - pigment - producing allele (\(W\)) are expressed.

Answer:

red and white phenotype
