F1 generation.
Genetics experiments on breeding plants or animals are based on the laws of inheritance, primarily Mendelian genetics. These laws describe how traits are passed down from parents to offspring through genetic material. By understanding these laws, scientists can predict and manipulate the outcomes of breeding experiments to produce desired traits.
The number of observed offspring in a genetic cross can be determined by conducting controlled breeding experiments, where specific parental genotypes are crossed. The resulting offspring are then counted and recorded, typically using a Punnett square to predict expected ratios based on Mendelian inheritance. By comparing the actual number of offspring to the expected ratios, researchers can analyze inheritance patterns and gene interactions. This process helps in understanding the genetic makeup and traits of the offspring.
Referring to organisms for which sexual reproduction produces offspring with inherited traits identical to those of the parents. The organisms are homozygous for the characteristics under consideration.
Observing that offspring of fluorescent parents also exhibit fluorescence would provide strong evidence that the ability to fluoresce is a heritable trait. Additionally, conducting controlled breeding experiments that consistently yield fluorescent offspring across multiple generations would further support the heritability of fluorescence. Genetic studies confirming the presence of specific fluorescent markers in the offspring's DNA could also provide conclusive evidence.

The offspring of two true-breeding plants is also true-breeding, meaning they will consistently display the same traits as the parents. This is because true-breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait, so when they are crossed, their offspring will also be homozygous for that trait.
Offspring of true-breeding parents are called F2 generation. This is often seen in hybrid breeding programs when they are working to produce a certain trait.
