            In a cross between red and white flowers of snapdragon all pink flowers were produced. Explain, why it is a case of incomplete dominance and not of blending inheritance?

Answer:

In incomplete dominance, the genes of an allelomorphic pair are not expressed as dominant or recessive but they are expressed partially when present together in a hybrid. As a result, an intermediate character is obtained. It is not a case of blending inheritance because parental characters reappear in the \[{{F}_{2}}\]- generation without any modification.
