Question

Mendel first crossed true-breeding plants to produce a second generation, which were then allowed to self-pollinate to generate the offspring. How do we name these three generations?

Answer 1

P, F1 and F2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first generation crossed which included the true breeding parents are the P generation plant. This produces the two subsequent generations which are the first filial generation (F1) and the second filial generation (F2).
