Question

In Snapdragon, a cross between true-breeding red flowered (RR) plants and truebreeding white flowered (rr) plants showed a progeny of plants with all pink flowers.

The appearance of pink flowers is not known as blending. Why?

Answer 1

When the red and white flower varieties of snapdragon are crossed, the F₁ progeny exhibits pink colour flowers. It is not known as blending inheritance because in blending inheritance, the characters are mixed in the offspring and do not segregate.
