    75% of the progeny contains purple flower in F2 generation.

    Explanation:

    The cross between the purple and white flower can be done by the following ways:

    (Parents) PP (purple flower) * pp (white flower)

    (Gametes) P p

    F1 genereation Pp (purple flower)

    Selfing of F1 genereation : Pp * Pp

    Progeny of F2 genereation are: PP (purple flower), Pp and Pp (purple flower) and pp (white flower).

    The phenotype ration of purple to the white flower is 3:1 or 75% of total progeny is purple flowered.

    Thus, the answer is 75%
