Question

In pea plants, purple flower color (P) is a dominant allele while white flower color (p) is a ressesive allele. If the pea plant has the genotype of Pp, what is its phenotype? explain.

Answer 1

I don't wanna throw the answer at you, because it's actually pretty simple.

But I can still help.

Can I give you a hint?

When we're talking about genotypes (pairs of letters),
the CAPITAL letter always matters more than the lowercase letter.

For example....

If capital T is Tall,
and lowercase t is short,
then any organism with a capital T in its genotype will be TALL.

It doesn't matter if there's a lowercase t in there. Like in the genotype (T t).
Because capital letters always matter more.

Let's go to your question.

Capital P is purple.
Lowercase p is white.

If the flower's genotype is (P p),
then what will its phenotype be?

In other words, what color will it be?
