Four o’clock (Mirabilis jalapa) plants with red flowers were crossed with plants having white flowers, and plants with pink flowers were obtained in F₁. Which will be the phenotypic ratio in F₂ generation?

• This scenario demonstrates incomplete dominance, a genetic inheritance pattern where neither allele for a trait is completely dominant over the other. In this case:
-Red flowers represent the homozygous dominant genotype (RR).
-White flowers represent the homozygous recessive genotype (rr).
-Pink flowers represent the heterozygous genotype (Rr), where both the red and white alleles are present.
