To determine the genotypes in each generation, you need to establish a specific genetic trait's inheritance, often represented in a Punnett square or pedigree chart. For example, if a trait is controlled by a single gene with two alleles (dominant "A" and recessive "a"), the parental generation could have genotypes AA and aa. The first generation (F1) would then have a genotype of Aa, and if these offspring were interbred, the second generation (F2) could exhibit genotypes of AA, Aa, and aa in a 1:2:1 ratio. Each generation's genotype depends on the specific combinations of alleles inherited from the parents.
