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