The inheritance pattern observed in the radish flowers is an example of incomplete dominance, where the heterozygous offspring (purple-flowered) exhibit an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygous parents (red and white). The inheritance of the radish shape trait follows a pattern of simple dominance where the long shape is dominant over the oval shape.
