All the offspring were purple because Mendel was dealing with simple genetic dominance. The purple true breeding parent was homozygous dominant and the true breeding white parent was homozygous recessive. When those two are crossed they create only heterozygous offspring (look up a punnett) and since this is simple dominance those heterozygous will show the phenotype of the dominant allele which is purple.
Codominance is a condition where heterozyous alleles at the same site produce and intermediate result. Ex. Red flowered plant crossed with White flowered plant yields 100% Pink flowered offspring. Ex. White Shorthorn cow crossed with Red Shorthorn yields 100% roan offspring.
If both parent plants are white-flowered, then all of the 1000 offspring would be expected to have white flowers. This is because the white flower trait is a result of a homozygous genotype, and both parents would pass on the white flower allele to their offspring.
Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits in his first generation experiments. Specifically, he crossed a true-breeding purple-flowered plant with a true-breeding white-flowered plant.
PP X ww or Pw X ww Because all Purple flower plants are dominant and express the color purple. This can be seen in a homozygous cross, or a heterozygous cross, ( shown above ) White plants, to breed true, must be in homozygous condition.

The offspring of two true-breeding plants is also true-breeding, meaning they will consistently display the same traits as the parents. This is because true-breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait, so when they are crossed, their offspring will also be homozygous for that trait.
If both parent plants are white-flowered, then all of the 1000 offspring would be expected to have white flowers. This is because the white flower trait is a result of a homozygous genotype, and both parents would pass on the white flower allele to their offspring.
because it helped Mendel discover which plants would be crossed to produce offspring.
If two true-breeding pea plants are crossed their offspring will show the dominant trait. The flowers will be purple or light purple.
A heterozygous genotype (e.g. Aa) is not true-breeding because it carries two different alleles for a trait and can produce offspring with different genotypes when crossed. True-breeding genotypes are homozygous for a particular trait (e.g. AA or aa) and will consistently produce offspring with the same genotype when crossed.

Homozygous for tall is TT Homozygous for short is tt All F1 offspring from this cross are Tt which makes them genotypically heterozygous and phenotypically tall.
