    The answer is the third option.

    Each offspring will receive one chromosome from each parent. PP can only offer P, and pp can only offer p. Since P is the dominant chromosome, all of the offspring will be 100 percent purple.

    The answer is 100 percent purple

    Let P be dominant allele for purple flowers and p recessive allele for white flowers. So purebred purple flower has two P alleles and its genotype is PP and purebread white flower has two p alleles and its genotype is pp. Since P is dominant over p, when found together like in heterozygous plants (Pp), the flowers will express dominant allele and will be purple.

    So, a cross between purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp) will have 100% of the offspring with genotype Pp and purple flower color.

    Parents: PP x pp

    Offspring: Pp Pp Pp Pp
