Question

For pea plants, the allele for purple flowers is dominant, and the one for white flowers is recessive. A pea plant with purple flowers can have two different genotypes. Explain what those two genotypes are. Also, explain why both genotypes result in purple flowers. Write your answer in 1 sentences.

Answer 1

The two genotypes are homozygous dominant (PP) and heterozygous (Pp), and both show purple flowers because the dominant P allele masks the recessive p allele.
