In pea plants, the allele for purple flowers (PPP) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (ppp).
A scientist crossed a homozygous purple-flowered plant (genotype PPPPPP) with a homozygous white-flowered plant. All resulting F1 F_1\,F1 offspring had purple flowers.
State the genotype of the homozygous white-flowered parent plant.
Two of the F1 F_1\,F1 offspring plants (both with genotype PpPpPp) are crossed. Complete the genetic diagram (Punnett square) below by determining the missing genotypes of the offspring.
