2. Your neighbor cannot understand why her new flowerbed now contains pink flowers. She

specifically bought and planted only red and white flowers. Which statement best

explains how this could happen?

a Since the pink flowers produced white flowers and red flowers, the white allele must be

dominant and the red allele recessive.

b. The appearance of pink flowers indicates that incomplete dominance, of the red and white

alleles, is occurring.

C. The pink trait is dominant, so when the allele for this trait is present, it overshadows the traits of

red and white

d. The white color is a recessive trait is since it is not apparent among the pink flowers or the red

flowers.
