In pea plants, purple flower color, c, is dominant to white flower color, c. the table shows the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles in three generations of peas in a garden.

which scientific question might these results cause a scientist to ask?
which population most likely experienced a genetic mutation?
why do some pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers?
would the frequency of these alleles change if the insect pollinators in the area all died?
is there another way to calculate the frequencies of the alleles in this population?
