(D) In $Antirrhinum$ (Snapdragon),the inheritance of flower colour is an example of incomplete dominance. $1$. The Principle of Dominance states that one allele masks the expression of another,which is not observed here as the phenotype is intermediate (pink). $2$. Incomplete dominance results in a phenotypic ratio of $1:2:1$ ($1$ Red : $2$ Pink : $1$ White) in the $F_{2}$ generation,which matches the genotypic ratio. $3$. The Law of Segregation (Mendel's First Law) states that alleles separate during gamete formation. This law is universal and applies to all sexually reproducing organisms,including $Antirrhinum$. Therefore,the statement that the Law of Segregation does not apply is incorrect.

In $Antirrhinum$ $(Snapdragon)$,a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in $F_{1}$ generation,pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed,the $F_{2}$ generation showed white,red and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
