Responses A All offspring are red.All offspring are red. B All offspring are white.All offspring are white. C All offspring of a red X white cross would be pink.All offspring of a red X white cross would be pink. D All offspring of a red X white cross would be spotted with red and white both being expressed.All offspring of a red X white cross would be spotted with red and white both being expressed.

The outcome that would indicate codominance as the inheritance pattern for flower color in this species is:

D All offspring of a red X white cross would be spotted with red and white both being expressed.

In codominance, both alleles in a heterozygous individual contribute to the phenotype, and both traits are fully expressed, resulting in a mixed appearance such as spotted or striated patterns. In contrast, the other options represent complete dominance or blending inheritance rather than codominance.
