Crosses between red and white true-breeding plant types yield offspring that are pink in color. When these pink offspring are crossed with other pink individuals, the resulting progeny show a range of color. This result is consistent with the theory of

The correct answer is - particulate inheritance.

Explanation:

The theory of particulate inheritance expresses that discrete "particles" are passed from one generation to another generation offspring. While Mendel utilized the term particles, we presently realize that these particles are really genes.

For instance, codominance in the flower of two distinct colors present in the different alleles of genes expressed or visible together without mixing and can be communicated distinctively in later generations individually.

Thus, the correct answer is - particulate inheritance.
