    Phenotypic ratio in plant snapdragon in                                                                                                                \[{{F}_{2}},\] is

    A)  1 : 1                                      

    B)  2 : 1

    C)  3 : 1                                      

    D)  1 : 2 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) and 40 clock plant (Mirabilis jalapd) provide a good example of incomplete dominance. When a homozygous red-flowered snapdragon or 40 clock plant is crossed with a homozygous white-flowered snapdragon or 40 clock plant, they produce                                                                                                                 \[{{F}_{1}}\] -progeny of pink-flowered heterozygotes. The                                                                                                                 \[{{F}_{1}}\] heterozygotes produce the                                                                                                                 \[{{F}_{2}}\] -progeny with identical phenotypic and genotypic ratios of 1 : 2 : 1.
