They are most likely to have different alleles of the same gene.

What happens when a red Snapdragon flower is crossed with a white Snapdragon flower?

Incomplete dominance

  • In snapdragons, incomplete dominance is responsible for controlling flower color.
  • Incomplete dominance refers to the phenomenon in which two true-breeding parents interbred to create an intermediate offspring. In this case, the alleles are expressed in a reduced ratio rather than as dominant or recessive.
  • RR represents the alleles for red flowers and rr for white flowers.
  • Plant with red flowers is crossed with a plant with white flowers.
  • The F₁ generation produced pink flowers (Rr) showing that no allele is dominant over the other.
  • The phenotype is intermediate and in between the two alleles rather than being displayed in a manner that would mask the effect of the other allele.
