it would be 1/2 white and 1/2 purple
A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable traits. The answer to the question, the cross that will yield four phenotypes in the 1:1:1:1 ratio is fifty.
All eight possible phenotypes could occur, but a greater proportion of the offspring would have the parental phenotypes.
no. Yes, it is possible in a test cross
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
Aa AA aa If A dominant, two phenotypes.

The phenotypes present in the F1 generation depend on the phenotypes of the parental generation (and the environment). The F1 generation will display the dominant trait(s). For example, if T is tall and t is short, in the cross TT X tt the F1 generation will have the phenotype corresponding to the T allele (tall).

This is because phenotypes are the physical appearance. If you had brown hair and so did I, our phenotypes, would still be different.
about one-fourth will be white and three-fourths green since it is similar to a monohybrid cross between heterozygotes
Cross plants that have very different characteristics
