It is well known that apples don’t come true from seed. The apple seedlings will rarely produce fruit that is the same as the mother tree. An article I read today says this is because apples tend to result from cross-pollination, not self pollination. I know that apples benefit from cross-pollination, but I don’t think that explains why apples vary so much between generations. Can someone with a better grasp of genetics than I have explain what is going on. -Mark Lee, Seattle |
