Identifying Alleles in Heterozygous Traits

Genetics plays a crucial role in determining the traits of an organism. Traits can be classified as dominant or recessive depending on how they are expressed in the phenotype. When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is referred to as homozygous. If it has two different alleles, it is heterozygous. Consider a simple trait, such as flower color in pea plants, where purple (P) is dominant over white (p). If a plant is heterozygous for flower color, what alleles does it possess?
