Remark:

In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F₁ generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F₂ generation showed white, red and pink flowers.
Choose the incorrect statement from the following :

NEET-2019 Principles-of-Inheritance-and-Variation [class-xii ]

• Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment.
• Ratio of F₂ is ¼ (Red): 2/4 (Pink): ¼ (White)
• Pink colour in F₁ is due to incomplete dominance.
• This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance
Correct Option: A  [ Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. ]
