What was the first generation of offspring in Mendel's experiment called?

Answer 1

F1 generation.

Mendel created two pure-breeding lines of peas that yielded green and yellow seeds for one of his early experiments.

By spreading pollen from a yellow variety plant to a green variety plant and from the green variety to the yellow variety, he was able to cross these two varieties.

The F1 generation of seeds produced by these plants were all the same shade of yellow, regardless of the situation.

Yellow was classified as dominant by Mendel, whereas green was classified as recessive.
