NEET Botany Incomplete Dominance Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a cross between a red-flowered and a white-flowered snapdragon, the F1 generation will all have pink flowers. | Reason (R): Incomplete dominance results in an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the parental traits.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) explains Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) does not explain Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In snapdragons, incomplete dominance occurs, resulting in the F1 generation having pink flowers, which is an intermediate phenotype between red and white. This is due to the blending of traits, not a complete dominance of one allele over the other.
