Purple flowers certainly are dominant to white flowers. In nature usually dark colors will be dominant over the lighter colors.

In the pea plants the presence of an allele for purple flowers will mask presence of an allele for white flowers. What does that mean?

Gene responsible for purple color is dominant over white color.


If the plants has 9 purple flowers and 3 white flowers what are the factors in the parents?

The factors are purple (P) and (W) for white flowers. Since neither of the alleles were dominant it became co-dominance and the flowers had both colors

Two true-breeding pea plants are crossed one with purple flowers and the other with white. Their offspring are?

If two true-breeding pea plants are crossed their offspring will show the dominant trait. The flowers will be purple or light purple.


A cross between homozygous purple flowered and homozygous white flowered pea plants results in offspring with purple flowers This demonstrates?

The principle of dominance.The gene for purple flowers is dominant, while the gene for white flowers is recessive. We know this because both flowers are homozygous, meaning their genes are the same. The genotype of Penelope (the purple flower) is PP, or purple purple. The genotype of Walter (the white flower) is pp, or white white. Because of this, if the gene for white petals was dominant, all the flower offspring would display white petals. If the genes were codominant, the flower offspring would be lavender, an even mix between the white and purple phenotypes.The Punnet square for this example (if you are a visual person) looks like this:......................Walter........................p | p....................___ | ___................P | Pp | Pp |Penelope .....________................P | Pp | Pp |...................|___|___ |You can clearly see that all the offspring are heterozygous, yet because they all share Penelope's phenotype, it is quite obvious that, again, the gene for purple flowers is dominant.


What was the result when Mendel cross pollinated true breeding purple flowering plants and true breeding white flowering plants?

He got purple flowers, because purple is dominant over white, and a plant with the combination of purple and white will be purple. P being the purple gene, p being the white, Pp will be purple, just like PP. Only pp will be white.


When purple is a dominant the white offspring of purple and white parents will be?

Pp Not Pp it is pp
