For each of the genotypes below determine what the phenotype would be

What is the phenotype for each of the following genotypes:
  • PP
  • Pp
  • pp
The correct answers for the phenotypes of the given genotypes are as follows:

Genotype PP:

Phenotype: Purple

Genotype Pp:

Phenotype: Purple

Genotype pp:

Phenotype: White

The genotype PP results in a purple phenotype, as purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Similarly, the genotype Pp also yields a purple phenotype due to the dominance of the purple color. On the other hand, the genotype pp produces a white phenotype, as the presence of two recessive alleles leads to the expression of the recessive trait.
