Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From SP: Q1 = Purple flowers were only seen in the F1 generation because the purple gene was dominant and all of the offspring included that gene so they were purple.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the F1 progeny all the plants will be having violet flowers because violet colour is dominant and the white colour is recessive.
Detailed explanation-3: -We know from observation that individuals heterozygous for the purple and white alleles of the flower colour gene have purple flowers. Thus, the allele associated with purple color is therefore said to be dominant to the allele that produces the white colour.
