Correct answer is Incomplete dominance .

When F1 hybrid exhibit a mixture or blending of characters of two parents, it is called incomplete dominance. For example, in snapdragon one parent is homozygous for red flowers (AA) and the other is homozygous for white flowers (aa). No dominance is present and the heterozygous F1 flowers are pink. The 1: 2: 1 ratio of red, pink and white flowers in the F2 progeny is shown by appropriate colouring.
