I am not a fruit fly specialist actually worked only 1 year with
them I have first a general degree in Biology ( takes here 6 years
including 50 % botany . Then a PHD ( another 4 years) in fungal
genetics Further I worked mostly for a hobby for years with semps.
alpines orchids etc.V Clearly your information is based on what you
was teached many years ago whereas I have still to teach regularly
I did give you a list of pictures and other references
.Yes the first leaf of allium is a true leaf. the cotyledon is still
attached to the seed. , just as in hosta. I looked under the
microscope and made detailed drawings what happens to a hosta seed
you should dp that to. That is way I know for sure The book of Esau
just does not happen to have any definition nor good pictures of
cotyledons so look fo other modern more illustrated books.
I agree mutations are rare, I said that in my earlier articles here
it was not relevant to repeat that again
