In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height
of the plant, and a second pair of alleles controls
flower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the
allele for dwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is
dominant to the allele for white (p). A tall plant with
white flowers crossed with a dwarf plant with purple
flowers produces all tall offspring with purple
flowers. What is the genotype of the parents? What will be an ideal response?
