Question

which of mendels generations was allowed to self - pollinate? f₁ generation p generation f₁ generation and f₂ generation p generation and f₂ generation

Explanation:

Mendel cross - pollinated true - breeding \(P\) (parental) generation plants. The offspring were the \(F_{1}\) generation. He then allowed the \(F_{1}\) generation plants to self - pollinate. The \(F_{2}\) generation was obtained from the self - pollination of \(F_{1}\) generation plants. The \(P\) generation was cross - pollinated (not self - pollinated in the context of Mendel's experiments to get the \(F_{1}\) generation).

Answer:

\(F_{1}\) generation
