LOL I know what F-1, F-2, etc. is. I also know How/What was produced and proving out Palmetto to be recessive. What I did not understand was the exact thing that Robbie wrote (with the "^").
However, what I was saying, to Doug, is that I guess it depends on how you read "Did the f1 generation produce Palmetto babies".
IOW:
If it was meant "were there any Palmettos in the F-1's" ... well, the answer is no.
If it was meant "did the F-1's, ~themselves~, produce Palmettos" ... well, the answer is Yes.
