Detailed explanation-1: -The offspring resulting from a parental cross are referred to as the first filial generation (or F1 generation). The F1 generation is the generation resulting immediately from a cross of the first set of parents (parental generation).
Detailed explanation-2: -The initial generation is given the letter “P” for parental generation. The first set of offspring from these parents is then known as the F1 generation. The F1 generation can reproduce to create the F2 generation, and so forth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The F1 generation is the first generation bred from a pair of parents and F2 is the second generation. In a monohybrid cross the F1 generation is all heterozygous while the F2 is a combination of homozygous and heterozygous offspring.
