Re: Genetics question
xxxxx So Chris,if seed "X" was known to be "a splitter ,that if you managed
to keep one on the vine would give you a very large pumpkin" (ie 827 or
722Holland) the chances of this splitting problem to carry on would be
greater than with seed "Y" ?...............G

<< I think I understand this question:-)
Seed "X" would have a greater potential to carry the traits of seed A;
HOWEVER, self crossed seeds are probably as likely to enhance undesirable
traits as desirable ones.
