The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant over the other. Therefore, the heterozygous individual shows an intermediate phenotype.

Step 1:
Consider a monohybrid cross under incomplete dominance.
Example: \[ RR \times rr \] \[ F_1 : Rr \] \[ F_2 : RR : Rr : rr = 1:2:1 \]

Step 2:
Phenotypic ratio obtained.
Since heterozygote has a distinct phenotype, \[ \text{Phenotypic ratio}=1:2:1 \] \[ \text{Genotypic ratio}=1:2:1 \] Thus both ratios are identical.
