In pea plants, purple flower color, C, is dominant to white flower color, c. The table shows the frequencies of the dominant

and recessive alleles in three generations of peas in a garden.

Which scientific question might these results cause a scientist to ask?
Which population most likely experienced a genetic mutation?
Why do some pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers?
Would the frequency of alleles change if the pollinators in the area all died?
* Is there another way to calculate the frequencies of the alleles in this population?
