In snapdragon plants, the gene for red petals (R) is incompletely dominant to the gene for white petals (r).
Individuals that are heterozygous (Rr) have pink petals.
A plant with pink petals is crossed with a plant with white petals.
What is the chance that the offspring will have red petals?

Respuesta :

The possible genotypes for the plant are Rr Rr rr rr. So there is a 0% chance

In this case, A plant with pink petals is crossed with a plant with white petals then the chance that the offspring will have red petals - 0%

Incomplete Dominance takes place when the dominant trait does not completely mask the recessive trait.

  • one allele is not completely dominant over the other  
  • It falls between two possible parent phenotypes
  • the physical characteristics of one parent but instead will have the characteristics of both parents    
  • Combination of the dominant and recessive traits
  • the pink plant will have a genotype Rr while the genotype of the white plant will be rr.  
  • crossing both of them would not generate RR(Red) petal plant, so it should be 0%

Cross: Rr (pink) x rr (white)

    R    r

r    Rr   rr

r    Rr   rr

Thus, A plant with pink petals is crossed with a plant with white petals then the chance that the offspring will have red petals - 0%
