In a monohybrid cross, the offspring of the first set of individuals mated in a particular cross is called the:
A
F1 generation
B
F2 generation
C
Backcross progeny
D
P generation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the terminology used in genetics for different generations in a cross: The P generation refers to the original parent individuals that are crossed.
The F1 generation (first filial generation) consists of the offspring resulting directly from the mating of the P generation individuals.
The F2 generation (second filial generation) is produced by crossing individuals from the F1 generation with each other.
Backcross progeny are the offspring resulting from a cross between an F1 individual and one of the original parental types (P generation).
Therefore, identify that the offspring of the first set of individuals mated (the P generation) is called the F1 generation.
