Select a human hereditary disease or condition you would like to know more about. Using the OMIM website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim), search for the disease and prepare a short synopsis of your findings. Include the following information:
A description of the disease or condition.

B
F1 generation
C
F2 generation
D
Grandchildren

1
Understand the concept of generations in genetics: In genetics, generations are labeled to track the lineage of organisms in breeding experiments.
Identify the Parental Generation (P): This is the initial set of parents in a genetic cross.
Recognize the F1 Generation: The first generation of offspring resulting from the cross of the parental generation is called the F1 (first filial) generation.
Define the F2 Generation: The second generation of offspring, produced by interbreeding individuals from the F1 generation, is known as the F2 (second filial) generation.
Conclude that the official genetics term for the second generation of offspring is the F2 generation, which follows the F1 generation in a typical Mendelian cross.
