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.
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
reappears in some plants in the F2 generation
The offspring produced by crossing F1 plants is known as F2 generation. This generation results from the self-pollination of F1 hybrid plants. The F2 generation exhibits greater genetic variability due to the recombination of alleles from the original parental lines.
the traits were recessive
F2 refers to the F2 generation in genetics. First you have the P1 generation, or the 1st parents to cross. Next, their offspring is called the F1 generation. When the F1 generation offspring cross, then the F2 generation appears.
F1 and F2
The F1 generation consists of the offspring of a cross between two parents; the F2 generation consists of the offspring of a cross between two individuals in the same F1 generation.
F1 Generation
f2 generation
it showed him a new different generation of offspring. :D
they are just different
Crossing from the P1 (parent) will produce the F1 (first generation offspring)
The offspring of the P1 generation are called the F1, or first children of an organism. The offspring of the F1 generation are then called the F2 generation of the original organism.
f2 generation
F1 are the first set of offspring, and F2 are the F1's offspring.
If two F1 members are crossed, their offspring will be known as an F2 generation. The traits of the F2 generation can vary based on the genes inherited from their F1 parents through a process called genetic recombination. This can lead to new combinations of traits not present in the original F1 parents.
