[Hint: What makes flowers red, purple, yellow, etc. ?] b. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of snapdragon flowers in the F2 generation?

the dominant/recessive model vs. partial (or
incomplete) dominance model. In incomplete
dominance, the phenotype is neither dominant
nor recessive, but intermediate instead.

b. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of snapdragon flowers in the F2 generation?
True breeding individual = Homozygous for
either trait.
