A cross was made between a plant that has blue flowers and purple seeds and a plant with white flowers and green seeds. The F1 generation was then allowed to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained.

F1 Generation: All offspring have blue flowers with purple seeds.

F2 Generation:                               208 blue flowers, purple seeds

                                            13 blue flowers, green seeds

                                            19 White flowers, purple seeds

                                            60 white flowers, green seeds
