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 purple
crossed with a tall purple produces 3/4 tall purple
and 1/4 tall white. What is the genotype of the
parents? What will be an ideal response?
