. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous.  Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
