The first photo is a tomato seedling that has one stem then branches into two stems with 4 leaves. I've never seen this before. Is this common?

The second photo is from a Cosmonaut Volkov tomato plant that was the only tomato plant that did well in one of my raised beds. It did well with a large vine and numerous tomatoes of which I picked the last one a couple of days ago. I was thinking that Cosmo might be nematode resistant because it did so well in this RB. Looking at the pic you can clearly see it is not nematode resistant. Truly amazing that this variety has such vigor that it can still yield well with sparse and damaged roots.
