2. Incomplete Dominance Problem
A red carnation is crossed with a white carnation. Neither one is
dominate over the other. This means that when crossed, their offspring
can show a pink flower. The parent generation genotypes are: CR CR
and CW CW (RED x WHITE).
An offspring showing pink flowers (CR CW) from the parent generation
is now being bred with another pink flower (CR CW). What color will
this new generation’s offspring show?
Part 1: Draw and fill in your own Punnett square-
Part 2- Determine genotype
CRCW x CRCW
Part 3- Determine phenotype
CRCW x CRCW
Part 4- Explain your results:

Part 5- Go further choose one of the offspring from the cross. Now
explain what would happen when your chosen offspring was crossed
with a pink flower (CRCW).
