frances.....the terms are not mutually interchangable....
seedlings are not mutations, as i used the term....
a plant can mutate or sport....and the experts on this list have been trying
to teach us the difference for 2 years....AND I STILL CANT REMEMBER the
difference.....
can one of you teacher types [like ron livingston] pretend i am a slightly
distracted 8th grader, and explain the difference, between sport/mutation, in
terms i can understand AND REMEMBER....
thx ken
