Genetics question

[rahul]

This comes from a thread on another forum...

If one parent (male) is F1 and the other parent (female) is F2, parents unrelated to each other, then what generation do their offspring belong to? F2, F3 or something else...

I think it should be F3...

bastard children

If F1 is related to F2 then their offspring belongs to F2 otherwise F3

i'd say f2.

since you are studying the male lineage and the female (F2) lineage shouldn't matter since they are unrelated.

Hmmm ok, but if they were related, then what?
