They differed both in genotype and phenotype.
Mendel's F1 generation were all heterozygous Tall. Where his F2 generation had genotype frequencies as follows: 1TT:2Tt:1tt and the phenotype frequency 3tall:1short
This is assuming you are referring to his experiments using height as the factor. His other experiments had similar results just replace all the uppercase T's with the dominant allele and the lowercase t's with the recessive trait.
Three times as many shorts plants as tall plants.
The first generation of offspring from a cross is called the F1 generation.
Mendel used true breeding plants in the P generation to establish a consistent genetic background for his experiments. True breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits when self-fertilized, allowing Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the parent generation and achieve predictable results in his crosses.
In Mendel's first experiment with pea plants, he crossed true-breeding plants with contrasting traits (e.g., tall and short). He found that the first generation (F1) offspring all displayed one of the traits, while the second generation (F2) showed a 3:1 ratio of the dominant to recessive trait. This led him to formulate his principles of inheritance, now known as Mendelian genetics.
parental generation
it showed him a new different generation of offspring. :D
Mendel did not control them. He simply predicted what characteristics the offspring would inherit.
F2 generation (second filial generation)
Mendel called the offspring of the first filial generation "F1 hybrids" or "first filial generation." These offspring result from crossing two true-breeding parents with different traits.
Recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments, where the offspring of the F1 generation showed a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.
In a typical Mendel experiment, Mendel took two purebreeding lines (the parental generation) and crossed them to produce the 1st filial generation and sometimes would self cross these to produce the 2nd filial generation.
Gregor Mendel called the traits that disappear in the first generation recessive traits. These traits are not expressed in the offspring when there is a dominant trait present.
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.
although its genetic its traits arent the offspring of the parent generation.
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.
TRUE!
The F2 generation showed hidden traits in all plants of Mendel's experiments. This generation resulted from crossing the hybrid F1 generation plants, allowing recessive traits to resurface and become visible in the offspring.
