Knowing that purple flowers are dominant (have a higher percentage of passing certain information to offspring) and white a recessive (have a much lower chance of passing certain information to offspring) the plants of the
F_(1) generation (first generation bread) will be all purple.

When a white-flowered pea reproduces with a purple-flowered pea all of the offspring will be purple.

When 2 offspring (purple-flowered) of the
F_(1)generation breed, there is a 15% percent chance of offspring being white-flowered.
