To determine which row of the data table will be the basis for computing new numbers of birds with each beak phenotype for the second and third generations, you typically would refer to the results from the first generation. In a population genetics experiment, the first generation data (often labeled as G1 or F1) provides the initial frequency and distribution of phenotypes, which can then be used to calculate expected frequencies in subsequent generations based on various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, or mating patterns.
If your table includes columns or rows for each beak phenotype and their corresponding counts, the row for the first generation's beak types will be the starting point for calculating the numbers for the second (G2) and third (G3) generations. Therefore, look for the row that details the phenotypes and counts for the first generation as the basis for your calculations.
