To solve this problem, we need to analyze the genetic experiment described and identify the incorrect statement. Let's break down the information:In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower, resulting in pink flowers in the F1 generation.This indicates that neither red nor white is completely dominant, leading to a blending of traits, known as incomplete dominance.When the F1 pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed a phenotypic ratio of 1/4 red, 1/2 pink, and 1/4 white.Now, let's evaluate each statement:Option 1: This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance. - This is correct because incomplete dominance is observed, where neither allele is completely dominant.Option 2: Pink color in F1 is due to incomplete dominance. - This is correct as the blending of red and white results in pink, demonstrating incomplete dominance.Option 3: Ratio of F2 is 1/4 (Red) : 1/2 (Pink) : 1/4 (White). - This is correct as it matches the expected phenotypic ratio for incomplete dominance.Option 4: Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. - This is incorrect because the Law of Segregation applies to all Mendelian inheritance patterns, including incomplete dominance.Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 4.
