Answer to Question #111088 in Cell Biology for Amberlee Martinez

Question

What is the probability that a pink flower will be produced in an incomplete dominance scenario with a red flower and a white flower? (Red=RR, Pink=RW, White=WW)

Answer 1

According to the data given:

• Red flowers genotype is RR
• Pink flowers genotype is RW
• White flowers genotype is WW

If red and white flowers are crossed:

• Parental phenotypes: Red × White
• Parental genotypes: RR × WW
• Parental gametes: R, R × W, W
• F1 offspring genotypes: RW (100%)
• F1 offspring phenotype: pink (100%) - all flowers are pink.

As a result, pink flowers will be produced following the cross-polination of a red flower and a white flower with a 100% probability.
