In **incomplete dominance** (e.g. flower colour in *Mirabilis jalapa*), the F₂ phenotypic ratio from a cross of red × white is:
- 3 : 1
- 1 : 1
- 1 : 2 : 1 (red : pink : white)
- 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 1 : 2 : 1 (red : pink : white)
RR (red) × rr (white) → F₁ Rr (**pink** — intermediate).
Selfing Rr × Rr → 1 RR : 2 Rr : 1 rr
→ phenotypically 1 red : 2 pink : 1 white.
Phenotypic ratio matches genotypic ratio because heterozygotes are visibly distinguishable.
