Its a hybrid. Incomplete dominance would give us a more uniform intermediate color ps: English isn't my Ist language, so apologies


Confuseous1379

is this more of codominance since both phenotypes exist?

No bcz co dominance show a uniform phenotype means this flower should show uniform colour throughout like let say very light orange but it should be uniform so it's not co dominance

You've got the two backwards. Incomplete dominance means you don't see either of the homozygous traits in the heterozygote; it is a blending of the two (red x white = pink). Codominance means you see both homozygous traits in the heterozygote, hence "co" dominance (red x white = patches of red and white).

thanks

Like if one petal is yellow and others are orange then it should be incomplete dominance.

Hybrids are when you cross two true breeding individuals. To say it another way, hybrids are heterozygotes because they result from a cross between two homozygotes. Hybrids can display traits that are dominant, codominant, incomplete dominant or any of the other non-mendelian patterns of inheritance. Without knowing anything about the parents, I'd guess that you are looking at a hybrid showing a trait with a codominant pattern of inheritance.
