Answer: PP, Pp, pP, pp

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Self-pollination is a type of pollination where the anther of the same flower pollinates the stigma or when the pollination takes place between the anther and stigma of the flowers of the same plant.
  • When the plant with genotype Pp is allowed to self pollinate, the result of the cross is as follows:

Pp X Pp ------> PP Pp Pp pp

from this cross, it is clear that the possible genotype of the progenies are PP Pp, Pp and pp.

Attached is an image of the Punnet Square showing the cross between Pp and Pp.
