Question
This question has three parts.
In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (W). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink.

**Part A:** The genotype of a snapdragon flower that is white is WW.
**Part B:** The probability of producing a pink flowered snapdragon from a cross between a red snapdragon (RR) and a white snapdragon (WW) is 0%.
**Part C:** In this cross, the red snapdragon (RR) can only produce gametes containing the R allele, while the white snapdragon (WW) can only produce gametes containing the W allele. This means all offspring will have the genotype RW, resulting in pink flowers, so there is a 0% probability of producing pink flowers from this specific cross.
**Part B:** The probability of producing a pink flowered snapdragon from a cross between a red snapdragon (RR) and a white snapdragon (WW) is 0%.
**Part C:** In this cross, the red snapdragon (RR) can only produce gametes containing the R allele, while the white snapdragon (WW) can only produce gametes containing the W allele. This means all offspring will have the genotype RW, resulting in pink flowers, so there is a 0% probability of producing pink flowers from this specific cross.
