What phenotype would result from crossing a homozygous dominant purple-flowered pea plant with a homozygous recessive white-flowered pea plant?

• Pp
• Purple
• White
• PP and pp

Homozygous is when...

• the alleles are the same

• the alleles are absent
• the alleles are present

Heterozygous is when...

• the alleles are the same
• the alleles are different
• the alleles are absent
• the alleles are present
