    PP and Pp

    Explanation:

    The dominant allele "overpowers" the recessive allele, therefore that trait shows. In this case, it is the polled allele. Therefore, the heterozygous pair works. Also, the homozygous pair with only the dominant allele (polled) will of course work since that is the only gene.
