Responses

If a plant has purple flowers, then its genotype must be PP.
If a plant has purple flowers, then its genotype must be cap p cap p .

If a plant has purple flowers, then its genotype must be Pp.
If a plant has purple flowers, then its genotype must be cap p small p .

If a plant has white flowers, then its genotype must be Pp.
If a plant has white flowers, then its genotype must be cap p small p .

If a plant has white flowers, then its genotype must be pp.
If a plant has white flowers, then its genotype must be small p small p .

Answer 1

If a plant has white flowers, then its genotype must be pp.

Explanation: White is the recessive phenotype, so it appears only in the homozygous recessive genotype pp. Purple is dominant and can be either PP or Pp.
