Prashant wanted to find the genotype of a pea plant bearing purple coloured flowers in his kitchen garden. For this, he crossed purple-flowered plants with white-flowered plants. As a result, all plants which were produced had purple flowers only. Upon selfing these plants, 75 purple flower plants and 25 white flowers plants were produced. Now, he can determine the genotype of a purple-flowered plant by crossing it with a white-flowered plant.
