When parent plants are crossed how do scientists refer to the first generation of offspring?

F1


When parent plants are crossed scientists refer to the first generation of off spring as?

Its either p,f2,1f,or 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.


What was the result of the first generation of pea plants that mendel bred?

P generation.


What is the meaning of G in G1?

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)


Crossing organisms from the F1 generation produces what generation?

Crossing organisms from the F1 generation produces the F2 generation.


What was the result of the first gemeration of pea plants that Mendel bred?

The first generation of of pea plants that Mendel bred were tall.


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


When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the offspring are called?

first-generation plants


What is the parent or P generation called?

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.
