In grasshoppers, the body color of brown (B) is dominant over green (b). Also, having strong legs (L) isdominant over weak legs (l). A heterozygous brown, homozygous strong-legged male mates with a heterozygous brown, homozygous weak-legged female. Get the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of the offspring using branching method.

Incomplete dominance: Draw a Punnett square for a pink snapdragon with a red snapdragon. In snapdragons, pink coloration is a result of incomplete dominance between the alleles for red and white color. What color are the flowers of the offspring? Use the paperclip icon to upload your image.
