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, when a red - flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a white - flowered plant (rr), the offspring (Rr) have pink flowers. This is because the red allele (R) is not completely dominant over the white allele (r). The heterozygous genotype (Rr) results in an intermediate phenotype (pink), which is a blend of the two parental phenotypes (red and white).

Answer:

In snapdragon flowers, red (RR) and white (rr) parents produce pink (Rr) offspring due to incomplete dominance, where neither allele fully masks the other, resulting in an intermediate phenotype.
