Flower color in carnations is controlled by one pair of co-dominant alleles; red flowered carnations have the genotype RR, white flowered carnations have the genotype R'R', and heterozygous individuals are pink. Of 10,000 plants in a carnation population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 4900 plants possess red flowers. How many pink flowered plants would be expected in the population? Ideas are shown.
