Answer:

The peas with the purple flowers were dominant and the peas with the white flowers were recessive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Gregor Mendel's study, he studied pea plants with purple flowers and white flowers. The purple flowers were dominant, and whenever the allele for a purple flower was present is was visible on the plant. The white flowers were recessive because if an allele for a purple flower was present, then the flower was purple. The flowers were only white if both alleles were for white flowers.
