In some flowers, a purple pigment is synthesized from a red precursor pigment. In the absence of all pigment, flowers are white. A pure-breeding plant with red flowers was crossed to a pure-breeding plant with white flowers. All of the F1 plants had white flowers. The F1 plants were crossed to each other, and the F2 consisted of 166 plants: 123 with white flowers, 32 with purple flowers, and 11 with red flowers. How do these results suggest that flower color is determined

The recessive allele of one gene masks the effect of a second gene. When both the genes are in dominant position the purple pigment is synthesized as dominant gene does not inhibit purple formed from red gene .

good thing- during decomposition the organic molecules in organic matter are broken down into simpler organic molecules that require further decomposition or into mineralised nutrients

bad thing- it can be harmful in crop productivity
