berries

Can berries be grown from seed? I know w/fruit trees the answer is no, because they don't grow 'true to fruit' (a peach seed IS a peach, but if grown from seed, who knows what you'll get).

Does the same principal apply w/berries, or can you grow them from seed, and actually get a true fruit?

When I say berries I'm referring to the kind that form a shrub/bush NOT a tree

I believe these are blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes; I know some of the berries form 'runners' but those are similar to vines more or less right?

W/berries are cranberries, currants, and cherries all from trees or are they bush/shrubs? Could use clarification w/this please.
