Question
In peas, purple flower colour is determined by the dominant P allele and white flower colour is determined by the recessive p allele.

Solution
The genotype of the gametes produced by the white-flowered plants would be p (little p). This is because the white-flowered plants are homozygous recessive (pp), meaning they can only pass on the recessive allele (p) to their offspring.
