F2 generation

The offspring (the second Filial generation) produced by selfing the *F1 generation , or allowing them to  breed   among   themselves.   Provided that a characteristic is governed by simple Mendelian genes, it is in the F2 that Mendelian ratios,  such as 3:1, 9:3:3:1, become apparent (see monohybrid , dihybrid ).
