Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

The progeny of a backcross between a hybrid (Vv) and a pure violet parent (VV) in pea plants will yield violet flowers only, because the dominant allele (V) from the pure parent ensures all offspring inherit at least one dominant allele, masking the recessive white flower trait (v), resulting in all heterozygous (Vv) violet-flowered plants.
