Q. 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 :
A) This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance
B) Pink colour in $F_1$ is due to incomplete dominance.
C) Ratio of $F_2$ is $\frac{1}{4}$ (Red) : $\frac{2}{4}$ (Pink) : $\frac{1}{4}$ (White)
D) Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment.
Explanation
[Solution] Alleles still segregate (the 1 : 2 : 1 ratio shows this), so the law of segregation does apply. Answer (4).
