Mendel's experiments with pea plants demonstrated the law of dominance: trets are inherited as dominary and

recessive alleles, and the dominant allele for trait can mask the presence of the cessive altele. Occasion lly, that

law is contradicted: offspring exhibit a blend of the parents' traits. For example a red flowering plant

w crossed

with a white flowering plant would produce a plant with pink flowers. In a genetic ross between botrygous red

Flowering plant and a heterozygous pink flowering plant, predict the probability of Having offspring in rei rowery

50% is the answer

The probability of progenies to have red flower is 50%.

Explanation:

The phenomenon where the two pure alleles of a particular character present in an individual gives a mixed appearance is called incomplete dominance, where the dominant character cannot fully mask the presence of a recessive character.

Here In the cross between a red flowering plant and the pink flowering plant, the character shows the incomplete dominance.

Let the allele for dominant character i. e red flower be R and recessive character white be r.

So the genotype for red flowering plant = RR.

The genotype for pink flowering plant = Rr.

The gametes from red flowering plant = R.

The gametes from pink flowering plant = R and r.

So with the cross, the genotype of the offsprings will be 50% RR and 50% Rr.

So plants with red flowers will be 50% of the whole progeny.
