You have PpTT and ppTt. Let's look at the significance of the letters first, using PpTT as an example. For reproduction, each parent donates a trait, like flower color. We have two flower colors, purple and white, and one letter to represent this. We use the letter P, which is chosen because it is the first letter of the dominant trait, so you can keep track of that. We use uppercase "P" for the dominant trait, which will show up when with a more recessive trait; and lowercase "p" for the recessive trait. There are two copies of this trait - one from each parent. Because that's how reproduction works. Pp means one parent gave a dominant color (purple) while the other gave a recessive color (white). First, what will the PpTT parent donate? It will donate both traits, of course, or it's not a whole pea plant genome! But just one version of the trait can be donated. It, alone, will later combine with ppTt's versions. PpTT has a P or a p.
