In snapdragon, if a cross between true-breeding red flowered (RR) plants and true-breeding white flowered (rr) plants showed a progeny of plants with all pink flowers, why is the appearance of pink flowers not known as blending?

Study Notes
Incomplete Dominance
- Red flowered snapdragon plants (RR) crossed with white flowered snapdragon plants (rr) produces pink flowered progeny.
- This does not represent blending because the parental traits (red and white) reappear in the F2 generation.
- Instead, this phenomenon is called incomplete dominance.
- In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes.
- In this case, red (RR), and white (rr) alleles produce a blend that is pink (Rr).
