You can use seeds from a hybrid plant next year, and they will probably 
produce an edible (or attractive, or whatever) plant, but it could be quite 
different from the parent plant.  A lot of hybrid tomatoes, for example, 
will revert back to a cherry tomato the next year if you use those seeds--it 
probably had a cherry tomato as one of its parents.  Non-hybrid seeds will 
come true to the parent plant.  Someone else who understands genetics will 
probably give a more complete answer.
