In snapdragons, flower color is often an example of incomplete dominance. When a red snapdragon (RR) is crossed with a white snapdragon (WW), the resulting offspring (RW) will have a pink flower color.

In this case:

  • RR (red) x WW (white) → All RW (pink)

Therefore, when you cross a red snapdragon with a white snapdragon, 100% of the offspring will have pink flowers.

The probability of producing a pink flowered snapdragon is 1 (or 100%).

Explain how you got your answer for part B?

Clue: Explain the relationship between the combination of the alleles.

I concluded that the probability of producing pink flowered snapdragons is 100% because in incomplete dominance, the combination of the red (RR) and white (WW) alleles results in all offspring being heterozygous (RW), which expresses the intermediate pink phenotype.
