All of the offspring will be heterozygous, meaning they'll have both a P and p allele (Pp), and all will display the dominant allele, P, meaning they will all have purple petals.

The phenotype for the F1 generation, therefore, is purple petals

The genotype for the F1 generation is PURPLE PETALS.
In cross breeding, the offspring of the original generation in a cross are called F1 generation. When two breeding of a particular living organisms are crossed, then the F1 generation will be all the same.
