Mendel spent years crossing pure bred pea plants together to observe their phenotypes. One consistent pattern he observed is that every time a pure breed purple flower was crossed with a pure breed white flower, all offspring were purple. What does this tell you about the purple color flower in pea plants?

The purple colour of the flower is homozygous and dominant to white flowers in pea plant.

Explanation:

In Mendelian Genetics the dominant allele is always expressed masking the recessive allele in between dominant and recessive alleles.

It is present when two copies of the dominant gene are present.

Suppose a purple flower plant is crossed by white flower.

Purple flower PP  and white flower is pp

  P    P

p Pp  Pp

p Pp  Pp

all the flowers formed are heterozygous and exhibit purple colour flower.

Thus we can see the purple colour is dominant  and heterozygous.

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
