A pea plant showing two dominant phenotypes, tall plant (D) and purple flower color (W) is test-crossed with a plant showing both recessive phenotypes for dwarf plant (dd) and white color flower (ww). The results of the F1 offspring showed tall purple flower plants; tall white flower plants; dwarf purple flower plants;  and dwarf white flower plants in approximately a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Based on these observations, what should be the genotype of the tested plant?   DdWw DdWW ddWw DDWw DDWW
