Best Answer

Pink flowers result as a result of a genetic phenomenon called co-dominance. It means both alleles are able to express themselves at the same time thus generating a new phenotype that is unique and bares partial simlarity to both parent phenotypes. It also proves the color theory, a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impact of specific color combinations. Red + white = Pink, no matter what type of mixing or crossing occurs.

It means that all life on this planet is genetically diverse, and the potential for many variations exists. If a different color flower results, it could be an example of a recessive gene, or possibly a mutation.

It proves that at least one of the pink flowered plant was heterozygous.

What would happen if you cross the offspring of two pink roses?

When a red flower crosses with a white flower, it can create a pink flower. Why? Because of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is when the heterozygous phenotype(offspring) is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes(parents).


What is it called when a blue flower and a pink flower cross and the resulting flower is pink with blue dots?

hybrid


When the phenotype of two alleles are blended what are they called?

The blending of the phenotype of the parents in the offspring is known as incomplete. colors of flowers can show incomplete dominance if a red flower is crossed with a white flower and their offspring are pink.


What is the trait of flower colour in four o clock is an example of?

If you cross a red flower with a white flower, you will get a pink flower. This is incomplete dominance.


If a homozygous red flower is crossed with a white flower what percentage of their offspring will red have?

Assuming that white is recessive to red in this case, then the off spring would all be red but they would be heterozygous red (Rr).


Which cross will yield four phenotypes in the ratio?

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable traits. The answer to the question, the cross that will yield four phenotypes in the 1:1:1:1 ratio is fifty.

How many alleles influence a phenotype in incomplete dominance?

A trait that exhibits incomplete dominance, is one in which the heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend between the two parent organisms. An example of this is when a homozygous red sweet pea flower crossed with a homozygous white sweet pea flower, their offspring will be heterozygous and have the pink phenotype, rather than either red or white. So, the homozygous red flower will be red, the homozygous white flower will be white, and the heterozygous flower will be pink. So there are three possible phenotypes in incomplete dominance. There are also no dominant or recessives genotypes.


If red flowers were cross with white flowers and all the resulting flowers were pink. what percentage of a cross between two pinks would be pink?

Let RR = Red and WW = White and RW = PinkRR X WW = RW (all resulting flowers are pink)Punett Square of pink cross pink:RWRRRRWWRWWWAs you can see, 50% are pink, 25% are red, and 25% are white.This is an example of incomplete dominance in flower colour.

If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.


What is the ratio of a white snap dragon crossed with a pink snap dragon?

if you mean in terms of what their offspring will be? then you need to do a monohyrid cross, the gametes being RW and WW sooo x R W W RW WW W RW WW it will be 1:1 ratio of pink to white offspring
