Explanation:

Hereditary mutations are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body. These mutations are also called germline mutations because they are present in the parent’s egg or sperm cells, which are also called germ cells. When an egg and a sperm cell unite, the resulting fertilized egg cell receives DNA from both parents. If this DNA has a mutation, the child that grows from the fertilized egg will have the mutation in each of his or her cells.

Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if a mistake is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed on to the next generation

Which describes the f2 generation in Mendel’s experiments
GenaCL600 [577]

I believe the best way to explain is that three times as many tall plants as short plants. The parental generation is the first set of parents crossed, the F1 generation consists of all the offspring from the parents, while the F2 generation consists of the offspring from allowing the F1 individuals to interbreed. From the Mendel's experiment the F2 generation results from self-pollination of F1 plants, and contained 75% of tall plants and 25% of short plants.
