The parental generation is the first set of parents crossed.
The F1 (first filial) generation consists of all the offspring from the parents - their children.
The F2 (second filial) generation consists of the offspring from allowing the F1 individuals to interbreed - the grandchildren of the parental generation.
The genotype of the P (parent) generation can be done by crossing an offspring from the F1 (first filial) generation with one of the gametes from the P generation and then calculating the genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Such an experiment is called a back cross
F1 and F2
In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
The parent individuals from which offspring are derived in studies of inheritance
The parental generation is called the P generation. The offspring, or filial generation, is called F, with the first generation designated F1, the second F2,etc.
I believe this is referring to the generations in parent crosses. You are first given two genotypes to cross. This is the parent generation. When you use a punnett square to cross the parent generation (P) you are given the possible genotypes of the first generation of offspring (G1)
Its either p,f2,1f,or f1
F1 stands for 1st Filal generation. In short this is the first generation of offspring from different parents.The terminology is often used in genetics and plant breeding to describe the first generation.In more simple terms a baby can be seen as the F1 generation of both of its parents.
generation
The first generation can be called anything. Most commonly, the first generation is called G^1, or G(to the power of 1).
The parental generation is called the P generation. The offspring, or filial generation, is called F, with the first generation designated F1, the second F2,etc.
