In pea plants, the allele for white flowers is recessive to the allele for purple flowers. In a generation of pea plants, 89 plants produced purple flowers and 31 plants produced white flowers. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the parent plants of this generation?

Both parent plants are heterozygous for flower color. The reaction the protein catalyzes would proceed very slowly or not at all. Results should have been peer reviewed and repeated producing the same findings. Mitosis involves one division cycle and results in diploid daughter cells, while meiosis consists of two division cycles and results in haploid gametes.

Correct Answer:

Both parent plants are heterozygous for flower color.
