decreased its genetic diversity
Selective breeding of pea plants led to the development of different varieties with specific desired traits, such as color, size, or disease resistance. Over time, this led to the creation of populations of pea plants with more predictable and uniform characteristics based on the traits that were selected for during breeding.
Ralph's selective breeding process likely increased the likelihood of offspring inheriting the purple flower trait. Through six generations of breeding only purple-flower producing plants, he would have amplified the presence of the desired trait in the gene pool. This process demonstrates how selective breeding can influence the genetic makeup of a population over time to favor specific traits.
Mendel produced true-breeding strains of pea plants through the process of self-fertilization, where he allowed plants to pollinate themselves. This ensured that the offspring inherited identical traits to the parents. Mendel then used these true-breeding strains to conduct his experiments on inheritance.

Selective Breeding?
A specific trait. There are true-breeding tall pea plants and true-breeding short pea plants, etc... .
Selective Breeding? if your doing the crossword the answer who'd be Mendel. - Naru-Chan ;D

True-breeding pea plants always produce offspring with the same traits as the parent plant. This is because they are homozygous for the trait of interest, resulting in consistent expression in the offspring generation.

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