Snapdragons exhibit incomplete dominance. If two F1 hybrids from the same parental cross both exhibited white flowers, which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents: (A) pink snapdragon X pink snapdragon; (B) red snapdragon X white snapdragon; OR (C) pink snapdragon X white snapdragon. Explain your answer clearly and be sure to address each of the options separately 
I tried using punnet squares but i could not figure it out...please help
Which of the following crosses is most likely to be the parents?
It is c - try using the metric calculus syndrome text by peter marisinel it will explain everything in exact detail - good luck
Reply:C.  Pink and white will yield 1 pink: 1white in the offspring.  1/2 of the offspring should be white.  That's the highest ratio of white in the problem.  (Do RW x WW)
Pink = RW   Red = RR   White = WW
C.  RW x WW
A.  Pink and pink will yield 1 red: 2 pink: 1 white. - only 1/4 of the offspring would be white.  (Do RW x RW.)
B.  Red and white will yield all pink, no white.  (Do RR x WW)
