Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mating between a purebred purple-flowered pea plant and a purebred white-flowered pea plant would produce a hybrid, as it involves crossing two purebreds with different traits to produce offspring with a combination of the two traits. A purebred variety refers to a population of individuals with identical traits resulting from multiple generations of self-fertilization or inbreeding. P generation refers to the parental generation used in a cross, while F₂ generation refers to the second filial generation resulting from a cross between two F₁ hybrids.
