A heterozygous purple-flowered plant. This plant carries two different alleles for flower color – one for purple and one for white. When these two alleles are present together in a heterozygous individual, the dominant allele (purple) will typically be expressed.
The results suggest that the allele for purple flowers is dominant (P) and the allele for white flowers is recessive (p). The Punnett square for the cross would show a 3:1 ratio of purple to white flowered offspring, as predicted by Mendel's laws of inheritance. This indicates that the purple flower trait is dominant and the white flower trait is recessive.
Codominance is a condition where heterozyous alleles at the same site produce and intermediate result. Ex. Red flowered plant crossed with White flowered plant yields 100% Pink flowered offspring. Ex. White Shorthorn cow crossed with Red Shorthorn yields 100% roan offspring.
Having non-identical alleles at a particular gene locus is known as being heterozygous. In a heterozygous individual, each allele is different, one inherited from each parent. This genetic diversity can lead to a variety of traits and characteristics in offspring.

they are fine; expected ratios might not been seen simply due to chance
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring

The resulting offspring is called heterozygous. This means that the offspring has two different alleles for the gene in question, one from each parent.
An offspring inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).

A cross between two individuals that are homozygous for different alleles will only produce heterozygous offspring. This is because each parent can only donate one type of allele, resulting in all offspring being heterozygous for that particular gene.
