Solution
The correct option is B Pink : White = 1 : 1 In snapdragon (Antirrhinum), flower colour shows incomplete dominance. The heterozygous condition (Rr) develops pink coloured flowers.
The cross can be represented as follows:
Out of four plants, two are pink flowered and two are white flowered. Therefore, the ratio
Pink : White = 1 : 1
