Red flowered (RR) plant is crossed with white flowered (rr) plants. The \[{{F}_{1}}\]offspring was pink flowered. Explain the genetic phenomenon.

Answer:

The resultant \[{{F}_{1}}\]offspring is of pink flowered plants by using red flowered (RR) with white flowered (rr) plants. It means that neither the red flower colour is dominant over the white flower colour nor the white flower is dominant over red. The \[{{F}_{1}}\] heterozygous (Rr) plants were pink coloured. Hence, it indicates the phenomenon of incomplete dominance.
