Study Notes

Parental Generation

  • The parental generation is referred to as the P generation.

F1 Generation

  • Allowing self-pollination within the F1 generation produces an F2 generation.

F2 Generation

  • The tall to short plant ratio in the F2 generation is 3:1.

Cross-Pollination

  • Depositing pollens of tall plants on the stigma of short plants, and vice versa, is done to cross-pollinate the plants and observe the traits of the offspring.
