Normally F1 plants suppose to be uniform both genetically and phenotypically and start segregating at F2, but I notice some differences in seed germination and seedling vigor (all things being equal) WHY?
Dear Aminu Moriki Ladan it depends of the number of parents involved in mating and their genotype. If either female and male parents are clones, F1 should be genetically uniform, at least external factors occur (mutations, contamination,...). However, if parents aren't clones, variations must be expected.
