yes there be a few but it can be more complicated than that as well there will be a small portion that can come out homozygous recessive meaning both alleles be recessive for the white gene and produce white offspring

Hello @alexx_1 , @rherdman1

As you can see from the above punnet square that when a homozygous purple pea plant is crossed with a white plant all the offsprings are heterozygous purple and thus no white plant is produced.
