Solution
Snapdragon shows incomplete dominance. In Snapdragon, the red colour of the flower is dominant (represented by allele 'R') while white (represented by allele 'r') is recessive. Heterozygous genotype results in the pink colour of the flower.
A cross between RR × rr results in F1 with pink flowers (Rr).
Punnet's square for F2 can be represented as -
