A botanist studying the inheritance of flower color found that when she crossed the offspring of two pure-breeding flower lines,
one purple and one white, she got the following F2 generation from planting 60 seeds: 17 plants with purple flowers, 26 plants with lavender flowers, and 15 plants with white flowers.
The phenotype of a heterozygous organism can actually be a combination between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.The heterozygous offspring and the incomplete dominance of the purple trait are a phenotypic intermediate between the parents
