Title: Understanding Generations in Genetic Crosses

**Text:**

"True breeding parents are referred to as the ____ generation and a cross of the true breeding parents is referred to as a ____ cross."

**Multiple Choice Options:**

A. P and P  
B. F₁ and F₂  
C. P and F₁  
D. F₂ and F₁  
E. F₂ and F₂  

---

This content explores the fundamental concepts in genetics related to generational crosses. It defines what the true breeding (parental) generation is and invites the reader to select the correct labels for the generations and crosses from the multiple choice options provided.

### Question

**Which of the following terms would NOT be used to describe a trait that shows variation over a range of phenotypes?**

A. Continuous  
B. Quantitative  
C. Linked  
D. Polygenic  
E. All of the above  

---

**Explanation:**

In genetics, traits that show variation over a range of phenotypes are typically described as:

- **Continuous:** Traits that do not fit into distinct categories and can have a wide range of outcomes.
- **Quantitative:** Traits that are measured on a continuous scale and influenced by multiple genes.
- **Polygenic:** Traits that are controlled by two or more genes, often resulting in a continuous range of phenotypes.
  
The term **"linked"** generally refers to genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together, which does not specifically describe traits with a range of phenotypes.
