The results of crossing a red flowered Japanese four o’clock plant with a white flowered Japanese four o’clock are all pink offspring. This demonstrates the principle of:
Incomplete Dominance
Multiple Alleles
Mutations
Co-Dominance

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The alleles for black are BB and the alleles for white are WW.

When Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants all of the offspring were tall because
The allele for tall plants is recessive
The allele for Tall plants is dominant
The allele for short plants is dominant
They were true-breeding, like their parents
