Just curious, do all the seeds in the same pod have the same DNA, resulting in identical siblings? Or is each seed genetically randomized?
I'm not familiar with the specifics of plant reproduction, but assuming that a baby pod is formed when a mommy flower loves a daddy pollen very much... that would be similar to one sperm/egg for us, splitting into each seed identically. Unless it's just a cloud of pollen mixing with a cloud of plant ovum creating hundreds of unique seeds inside the same pepper.
Anyway, rambling incorrect metaphors aside, should one save seed from multiple peppers to regrow next year's crop? Or will one bad genetic mashup only create a single seed with problems and not an entire pepper full of them?
