In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red, and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following:

1. Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment.
2. This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance.
3. The pink colour in F1  is due to incomplete dominance.
4. Ratio of  F2  is 1/4(red):2/4(pink):1/4(white).

Assertion: Dominance is not always an autonomous feature of gene or its product.

Reason: Occasionally a single gene product may produce more than one effects.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false
