In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation all pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statements from the following.

a
Law of segregation does not apply in this experiment.
b
This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance.
c
Pink colour in F1is due to incomplete dominance
d
Ratio of F2 is14(red):24(pink):14(white).

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Law of segregation is universal. There is no exception to this law.As the dominant colour is not expressed in  F1 generation we can say that the principle of dominance is not followed.An intermediate phenotype is expressed in F1 generation which is because of incomplete dominance.When we do selfing of F1 generation the genotypic ratio of  F2 generation is 1 /4 RR, 2/4 Rr, 1 /4 rr.
