In Antirrhinum, two plants with pink flowers were hybridized. The $\mathrm{F}_1$ plants produced red, pink and white flowers in the proportion of 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white. What could be the genotype of the two plants used for hybridization? Red flower colour is determined by $\mathrm{RR}$, and white by $\mathrm{rr}$ genes.

ABO blood grouping is controlled by gene I, which has three alleles and show codominance. There are six genotypes. How many phenotypes in all are possible?

$\quad$ ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by the gene I. It has three alleles $-\mathrm{I}^{\mathrm{A}}, \mathrm{I}^{\mathrm{B}}$ and $\mathrm{i}$. Since there are three different alleles, six different genotypes are possible. How many phenotypes can occur?
