Question

which of mendel’s generations was allowed to self-pollinate?
○ f₁ generation
○ p generation
○ f₁ generation and f₂ generation
○ p generation and f₂ generation

Explanation:

Mendel's \( F_1 \) generation (hybrids) was allowed to self - pollinate to produce the \( F_2 \) generation. The \( P \) (parental) generation was cross - pollinated, and the \( F_2 \) is the result of \( F_1 \) self - pollination, not the one that was allowed to self - pollinate (the \( F_1 \) was the one doing the self - pollination). So the \( F_1 \) generation was allowed to self - pollinate.

Answer:

A. \( \text{F}_1 \) generation
