Question: A true-breeding tall pea plant with axially positioned purple flowers was crossed to a true-breeding dwarf pea plant with terminally positioned white flowers. When the F1 plants, which were tall with axially positioned purple flowers, were crossed to true-breeding plants that were short with terminally positioned white flowers, the following offspring were made:
164 tall, terminal, white
144 tall, axial, white
156 tall, terminal, purple
176 tall, axial, purple
138 short, terminal, white
149 short, axial, white
182 short, terminal, purple
166 short, terminal, purple
