When parent plants are crossed how do scientists refer to the first generation of offspring?
F1
How do you get the f2 generation from the f1 generation?
taken from a science textbook- Scientists today call these parent plants the parental generation, or P generation. The offspring from this cross are the first filial generation or the F1 generation. The word filial comes from filila and flilius, the Latin words for daughter and son. When the plants in the F1 generation were full-grown, Mendel allowed them to self-pollinate. Surprisingly, the plants in the F2 gneration were a mix of tall AND short plants. The shortness trait had reappeared even though none of the F2 parent plants were short. Mendel counted the tall and short plants. About three fourths of the plants were tall, while one fourths were short.
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the offspring are called?
first-generation plants
What generation did Mendel get when he crossed the plants that produced the F1 generation?
100% percent of the plants expressed the dominate trait ........................................................................................ what do u get when u mix purple with purple you get 100% purple :) simple peace of cake !
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called?
dominant
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristics are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called the?
dominant
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called the?
dominant
How was it possible that there were short plants in the f2 generation if there werent any short plants in the f1 generation?
The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.
Why are all the first generation plants tall even though one parent plant is short?
Hhh
When mendel crossed a strain of tall pea plants with a strain of short pea plants he observed that all of the plants in the F generation were tall this suggests that?
All of the offspring had at least one dominant tall allele. All of the offspring in the F1 generation were heterozygous "Tt" meaning they each had one tall allele "T" and one short allele "t". It also suggest that one parent was homozygous tall TT and the other was homozygous short "tt."
What does it mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
What is f2-generation?
F1 and F2 generation is the offspring generation.F1 ( filial generation) is when two offspring plants that are alike that came from its parents, both parent plants aren't similar.F2 is the second stage. In F2 generation, the former two offspring (tall plants) will fertilize and have new offspring. The new offspring will be 75% tall and 25% short. ----------justinvo24----------------lol
