Mendel called the first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross the P generation.
The P generation
Mendel referred to the first two individuals in a genetic cross as the "P generation," which stands for the parental generation. The offspring produced from this generation are called the "F1 generation," or first filial generation. Mendel conducted his experiments with these generations to study the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
Gregor Mendel referred to the generation resulting from crossbreeding the parental generation as the "first filial generation," symbolized as F1.
Mendel's Law - The first law of Mendel states that "In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype."
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits in his first generation experiments. Specifically, he crossed a true-breeding purple-flowered plant with a true-breeding white-flowered plant.

P generation
The parental generation refers to the two original individuals that are bred together in a genetic cross to produce offspring. These individuals are typically chosen for specific traits or characteristics that are being studied in the cross.
Gregor Mendel referred to the generation resulting from crossbreeding the parental generation as the "first filial generation," symbolized as F1.
Mendel used pea pod plants for his early experiments. See http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/klmno/mendel_gregor.html
Ronald Fischer was one of the first to apply Mendel's rules of genetic inheritance to Darwin and Wallace's rules of evolution by natural selection. This "new synthesis" occurred in the 1920s and 30s.
