In Snapdragon, A cross between true breeding red flower (RR) plants and true breeding white flower (rr) plants showed a Progeny of plants with all pink flowers.

(a)The appearance of pink flowers is not known as blending. Why?(b)What is the phenomenon known as?


(a) The appearance of pink color is not caused as blending because the alleles do not mix or blend and they maintain their originality and reappear in F2 generation. The pink color appears just because the Dominant allele is not completely dominant over the recessive allele for colour.

(b) The phenomenon is called incomplete dominance.
