Question

what is the result if you cross a homozygous red flower (rr) with a homozygous white flower (ww)? you would produce white flowers. you would produce pink flowers. all of the flowers produced would be red.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When a homozygous red flower (RR) is crossed with a homozygous white flower (WW), assuming incomplete dominance (where neither allele is completely dominant over the other), the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent. In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes. So, instead of one allele masking the other (as in complete dominance), the combination results in a new phenotype. Here, the combination of R and W alleles leads to pink flowers (as it is an intermediate color between red and white in the context of incomplete dominance).

Answer:

You would produce pink flowers.
