    Incomplete dominance is shown by

    A)  Primrose        

    B)  Mirabilis

    C)  Helianthus      

    D)  China rose

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When \[{{F}_{1}}\] hybrids exhibited a mixture of characters of two parents, the case is  considered as that of incomplete or blending  inheritance. It simply means that two genes o allelomorphic pair are not related as dominant on recessive, but each of them  express itself partially. For example, in 4  Oclock plant (Mirabilis jalapa), when plants with red flower (homozygous, RR) are crossed  with plants having white flower (homozygous,  rr), the heterozygous \[{{F}_{1}}\] hybrid (Rr) bear pink  flower. When these pink flowered plants are  self-pollinated they develop red (RR), pink (Rr)  and white (rr) flowers in the ratio 1 : 2 : 1 respectively.
