P = purple, pp = white. The offspring of a cross between two heterozygous purple-flowering plants (Pp × Pp) results in 
 
  
a. all purple-flowered plants. 
 
b. purple-flowered plants and white-flowered plants. 
 
c. two types of white-flowered plants: PP and Pp. 
 
d. all white-flowered plants. 
 
e. all pink-flowered plants.
P = purple, pp = white. The offspring of a cross between two heterozygous purple-flowering plants (Pp × Pp) r
If we set up a punnet square, then we get:
___P__p
P  PP   Pp
p  Pp   pp
PP and Pp are purple flowered plants 
pp is a white flowered plant
So we know it can't be a because we have white plants.  B seems to work at this point.  C can't be right because we know PP and Pp produce purple plants.  Looking at D and E, we know they are wrong because we have purple flowers and no pink flowers.  So the answers is . . .
Reply:Pardon my terminology, but look at your text book, dumbo.  Think about it.  If you have the question to list out in so specific of a form, it must have come from a text.  The text will not require you to give an answer which they have not equipped you to do. Now in a Pp*Pp cross you can get_______
PP, Pp, Pp, and pp
Simple Punett square
Sorry for being so mean.
Reply:PP, Pp, Pp, pp.  That would be b, c.
Reply:b.
PP = purple
Pp = purple
pP = purple
pp = white
Purple : white 3:1
Reply:Do you know how a Punnett square works? Look in your textbook.
 
          P                          p
-----------------------
P   |   PP         Pp
      |
p   |   Pp        pp
Resulting in a 25% chance of white-flowered plants and a 75% chance of purple ones. Therefore the answer is b. It can't be c. because a capital P means purple, so PP can't be a white-flowered plant.
