Guys, does anyone know the answer?
get crossing a plant with white flowers and a plant with red flowers produces pink flowers in the offspring. what is this process called? from EN Bilgi.
If a red flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant,and pink flowers result,this shows ____ ?
Incomplete Dominance Incomplete dominance is an example of a non-mendelian trait (doesn't follow the genetic rules established by Gregor Mendel). When two parents mate and produce offspring, the offspring is a blend of the two parents. So, a red flower and a white flower would make a pink flower.

Incomplete Dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is an example of a non-mendelian trait (doesn't follow the genetic rules established by Gregor Mendel). When two parents mate and produce offspring, the offspring is a blend of the two parents. So, a red flower and a white flower would make a pink flower.

Example Question #1 : Understanding Codominance And Incomplete Dominance
A plant with red flowers is crossed with a plant with white flowers. The resulting offspring have pink flowers. What term describes the dominance of this trait?
Possible Answers:Codominance
Incomplete dominance
Dominance Recessiveness
Correct answer:Incomplete dominance
Explanation:
A phenotypic "blending" of two traits is referred to as incomplete dominance, indicating that neither trait is truly dominant over the other. Instead of one color overpowering expression of the other, both colors are expressed simultaneously.
Codominance suggests that both phenotypes are dominant, but cannot be expressed at the same time. The result of codominance would be regions of dominant red expression and regions of dominant white expression, resulting in spots rather than blending.

Example Question #1 : Understanding Codominance And Incomplete Dominance
Two pure breeding plants are crossed. One plant has red flowers and the other has white flowers.
What phenotype(s) would be seen in the first generation if flower color exhibited incomplete dominance?
Possible Answers:All offspring would have both red and white flowers
Half of the offspring would have red flowers, and half would have pink
All offspring would have pink flowers
Half of the offspring would have red flowers, and half would have white
Correct answer:All offspring would have pink flowers
Explanation:
The genotypes of the offspring can be determined by crossing the red flowers, RR, with the white flowers, rr.
RR x rr
Offspring: all offspring are Rr.
Incomplete dominance means that neither color shows dominance in the hybrid generation. This means that instead of solid red or solid white flowers, the heterozygous plants will display a mixture of both colors. Since the entire first generation will be heterozygous for the color trait, they will all be pink (a mix of white and red).

Example Question #3 : Understanding Codominance And Incomplete Dominance
Black fur (A) is codominant with white fur (a) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b) in mice. Two mice are heterozygous for both traits. If these mice are crossed, what color of fur will the offspring with genotype Aa express?
Possible Answers:Black and white spotted
Black or white, depending on each individual offspring
Gray Black
Correct answer:Black and white spotted
Explanation:
Codominance means that more than one type of dominant allele for the same gene is present. If both black and white fur are dominant, then heterozygous (Aa) offspring would be spotted with black and white.
Note this is a different expression pattern from incomplete dominance, in which a blending of phenotypes occurs.

Example Question #4 : Understanding Codominance And Incomplete Dominance
Two mice are heterozygous for both fur color and eye color. If these mice were crossed and all offspring have dark brown, almost-black fur, what is the best explanation?
Possible Answers:The alleles for black and brown fur exhibit incomplete dominance
Independent assortment has occurred
Both parents have a recessive mutation
The alleles for black and brown fur exhibit complete dominance
Correct answer:The alleles for black and brown fur exhibit incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is when more than one type of dominant allele for the same gene is present. If black and brown alleles are incompletely dominant, they "compete" for expression, which produces offspring with a combination of the two colors.
Note that this pattern difference from codominance, in which the phenotypes will be present in separate spots of blotches.

Example Question #1 : Understanding Codominance And Incomplete Dominance
If red (R) and white (r) are codominant alleles that determine flower color, what phenotypes are possible for this gene?
Possible Answers:Red and white Pink only
Red, white, and pink
Red, white, and red-white spotted
Correct answer:Red, white, and red-white spotted
Explanation:
The possible genotypes for this trait are RR, Rr, and rr. To determine the answer, we must find the phenotype that corresponds to each genotype.
We know that RR is red and rr is white, since these genotypes are homozygous.
Now you must determine if Rr is red, white, or some other phenotype. Codominance means that both phenotypes show simultaneously, so the heterozygote would be both red and white, which is a distinct third phenotype. These organisms would show spots or splotches of each color.
