I am assuming you are talking about the breeding of a plant with white flowers and a plant with red flowers. The reason the new plants will have pink flowers is because the flower color in snapdragons is an example of INCOMPLETE dominance. Red is the stronger allele, but not completely... so the white it not completely overpowered. So the new trait of the new plant is somewhere in between the parent phenotypes: Red mixed with white- or pink!

did you know they actually snap!!??!!

An example of incomplete dominance is?

Incomplete dominance is where the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate to both the heterozygotes. The classic example of this phenomenon is pink snapdragons. If you cross red and white snapdragons, you get pink snapdragons, because neither the red or white allele is dominant to the other.

Yes. Pink shoes instead of red would be fine.


Could you establish a true breeding variety of pink snapdragons?

no, u cannot. you have to have a parent with the red gene and a parent with the white gene, which would be heterozygous (different). and true breeding is homozygous.


Example of incomplete dominance?

An example of incomplete dominance is when a white flower and red flower mate and create a pink flower. The white and red colors mix creating the pink. Neither allele is dominant, resulting in a combination of the two.
