Usually, yes. In evolution and conventional breeding practices, the genetics in the seed do come from the parent plant (vertical breeding). When plants are genetically modified using genetic engineering, the genetics in the seed often contain genes from an organism that is a different species, often a bacteria, that is completely different than the genes in the parent plant (horizontal breeding).

What colors are seeds?

How do you know what kind of plant a seed will grow into?

The kind of plant a seed will grow into is determined by the genetics of the parent plant that produced the seed. Each type of plant has a distinct genetic code that dictates its growth characteristics, including its size, shape, and type of flowers or fruits it will produce. When a seed is planted and given the right conditions (such as water, light, and nutrients), it will germinate and grow into a plant that is genetically identical to its parent.
