$A$ plant with red flowers was crossed with another plant with yellow flowers. If $F_1$ showed all flowers orange in colour,explain the inheritance.
(N/A) This phenomenon is known as incomplete dominance. In this case,the $F_1$ generation does not resemble either of the two parents; instead,it exhibits an intermediate phenotype (orange) that is a blend of the two parental traits (red and yellow). This occurs because neither allele is completely dominant over the other,resulting in the expression of an intermediate trait in the heterozygous condition.
