answer: a) the appearance of pink flowers can't be said as blending as none of the two phenotypes is completely dominant over the other in heterozygous condition. Incomplete dominance superficially resembles the idea of blending inheritance, but can still be explained using Mendel's laws with modification. In this case, alleles do not exert full dominance and the offspring resemble a mixture of the two phenotypes
