A pea plant expresses the recessive trait for flower color. How are its alleles abbreviated scientifically? Pp PP pP pp Is it pp or pP?

OpenStudy (tumblewolf):

Dominant always goes first. In peas the purple is dominant and is a capital P. Pink is a recessive trait and is denoted by a p. Which order would they go in?

OpenStudy (tumblewolf):

Okay an edit to the previous. If it expresses the recessive gene that means it has to have two of that gene. So if white/pink is a lower case p then what would our alleles be?
