Question

if a plant with purple petals (pp) is crossed with a plant with white petals (pp), what is the phenotype for the f₁ generation? purple petals white petals a combination of purple and white petals

Explanation:

In Mendelian genetics, when a homozygous dominant (PP) is crossed with a homozygous recessive (pp), all offspring in the F₁ generation will be heterozygous (Pp). Since the dominant allele (P) determines the phenotype, the flowers will show the dominant trait (purple petals).

Answer:

purple petals
