Tall plant = TT/Tt
Violet flowers = WW/Ww
Genotype of given plant could be either of the assumed four: TTWW, TTWw, TtWW, TtWw
Case 1
Selfing of TTWW
All tall and violet, then genotype of parent is TTWW.
Case 2
Selfing of TTWw:
|
TW |

TW |
TTWW |
TTWw |

TTWw |
TTww |
Phenotypic ratio: 3 : 1 (3 tall violet : 1 tall white) then Parent is TTWw.
Case 3
Selfing of TtWW

Phenotypic ratio 3 : 1, (3 tall violet : 1 dwarf violet) then Parent is TtWW
Case 4
