Answer:

The answer is 50%!

Step-by-step explanation:

The genotypes will be Pp and pp which will mean that the offspring will be Pp, Pp, pp, pp; which means that there will be 2 purple and 2 white flowers (purple is dominant while white is recessive).

2 : 4 = 50%

The answer is 0% because if you do a Punnett square there are all dominant White traits.
