F2 Generation

The F2 generation refers to the second generation of organisms produced through breeding. It typically comes from crossing two F1 individuals, which are the offspring of a previous generation (the P or parental generation). In genetics, this process helps to study traits and variations. For example, if you breed two plants that have specific characteristics, their F1 offspring will share traits from both parents. When those F1 plants breed, their offspring become the F2 generation, showing a mix of traits that can include new variations, helping scientists understand inheritance patterns.
