I have a question for those well versed in genetics. When the breeders make the final cross (let's say, for SunGold for example) to create the F1 seeds, how can they be sure that the breeding lines behave exactly like they're supposed to, with no surprises, no lottery?
yes I am sure they know their business and have calculated the risks and possible scenarios, but still.. nature is nature, and anything can happen. Unless it all happens in a lab setting...
