Answer:
PP (genotype) - Purple (Phenotype)
Pp (Genotype - Purple (Phenotype)
pp (Genotype) - White (Phenotype)
Explanation:
The genotype allele combinations, in order to for purple to be dominant there are three possible genotypes
*Capital P represents a purple dominant allele
*Lowercase p represents a white recessive allele
(Alleles are the variants of a certain gene, ex: brown eyes, green eyes, etc. )
A Dominant always overpowers the recessive, the only way for a recessive to show would be to have two recessive alleles from both parents
ex: Green eyes recessive to Brown
B - Brown bb = green eyes (from dad)
b - green bb = green eyes (from mom)
this means that their child would have green eyes because there is no brown present
So for your pea plants to be purple
Pp = Purple pp = white
PP = Purple (yes there can be white recessive present, it just might not appear as a plant because of the percent of purple)
The colors or observations we see as the plant are the phenotypes
so the colors I have listed would be the phenotypes
Don't get alleles and phenotypes confused, alleles are the various forms of a gene, and phenotypes are what we see when the gene is brought through.
