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).
