Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the offspring produced a pale orange color, which is a blend of white and orange, indicates that this trait shows incomplete dominance. If orange were dominant, the offspring would have had pure orange flowers. Similarly, if white were dominant, the offspring would have had pure white flowers. Therefore, neither A nor E can be correct. We don't have enough information to conclude that genes for flower color are linked.
