    Study Notes

    Defining Generations

    • Parental (P1) generation: The original generation in a breeding experiment.
    • First filial (F1) generation: The first generation of offspring from the P1 generation.
    • Second filial (F2) generation: The second generation of offspring from the F1 generation.
