give me a minute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b or a. I think b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain why please??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when the white-flowered rhododendron is crossed with a red-flowered rhododendron the red is dominate. So, when the offspring comes it will not be fully red.( light pink)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was actually white and red spotted :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because Codominance means both alleles are fully expressed. For this reason, the offspring will have flowers with white and red blotches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry.
