Question

explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an example.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other. In snapdragon flowers, a cross between a red - flowered plant (RR) and a white - flowered plant (rr) results in pink - flowered offspring (Rr). The R allele for red and r allele for white blend in the heterozygous (Rr) condition to produce an intermediate phenotype (pink).

Answer:

Incomplete dominance is a genetic phenomenon where neither allele is fully dominant. In snapdragons, crossing red (RR) and white (rr) flowers gives pink (Rr) flowers due to the blending of alleles in the heterozygous state.
