Answer:

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the First filial generation, filial, Latin for family. Or just the F1 generation plants.

The plants that are true breeding are Parental generation or for shorthand, the P generation plants.

The plants where there were three times as many tall plants as short plants are in the second filial generation, or the F2 generation.

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment.

Sir Gregor Johann Mendel.

Mendel experimented on pea plants and gave the laws for genetics which are a very important aspect of hereditary. Because of his experiment the terms recessive and dominant came into light and how the genes are passed from generations were also studied.

The statements can be completed as:

  • Plants that were allowed to self pollinate were F1 or the first filial generation.

  • The true-breeding plants are P (parental) generation.

  • The plants having the phenotypic ratio of 3:1 for tallness and shortness are in F2(second filial) generation.

The steps can be explained as:

  • The cross which is the first step between the given alleles of a trait in a cross is called parental (P) generation.

  • The progenies produced as a result of a cross between the parental traits is called the first filial (F1) generation.

  • When the traits from the F1 is interbred then a second filial generation (F2) is produced.
