P generation

austinshelton3844 — 2017-03-08 19:49:26 UTC

2. The P generation is the start of Mendel's work on inheritance. Inheritance, as defined by Webster's, is 'the reception of genetic qualities by transmission from parent to offspring.' Basically it refers to the traits or genes that are passed on from one parentalgeneration to their offspring.
3.traits or genes passed on

F1 generation

2. The first filial generation, which is comprised of offspring(s) resulting from a cross between strains of distinct genotypes. Supplement. The F1 generation is the generation resulting immediately from a cross of the first set of parents (parental generation).
3. cross on genes

F2 generation

2. (genetics) The second filial generation, which is comprised of offspring(s) resulting from a cross of the members of F1 generation. Supplement. The F2 generation is the result of a cross between two F1 individuals
3. cross of your genes and parents genes

punnett square

austinshelton3844 — 2017-03-08 19:51:03 UTC

2. The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype
3. helps predict a gene outcome
