Solution:

Incomplete dominance or blending inheritance is the condition where F1 hybrids were not related to either of the parents but exhibited a blending of characters of two parents.
The inheritance of flower colour Antirrhinum majus (Snapdragon or Dog flower) is an example of incomplete dominance. This phenomenon is called incomplete dominance as neither of the two alleles of a gene is completely dominant over the other. In a cross between F1 pure red flowered plants (RR) and pure white flowered (rr) plants, the offspring obtained in the F1 generation were all pink (Rr). When these F1 plants were self-crossed, the plants in the F2 generation were red, pink and white in the phenotypic ratio 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White. This shows that 'R' is not completely dominant over 'r'.
$Parents & RR & \times & rr \\ Gametes & R & & r \\ F_{1} & & Rr & $
rr
Phenotypic ratio = $1$ Red : $2$ Pink : $1$ White
Genotypic ratio = $1$ RR : $2$ Rr : $1$ rr
