  1. 1. is the progeny of Breeder or Foundation seed handled to maintain satisfactory genetic purity and identity.
  2. 3. is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes.
  3. 5. is a condition where the offspring may have greater yield, height, disease resistance, or other traits than either of the parents.

  7. 12. is the first generation of a cross between a Foundation single cross as one parent and an inbred line or a Foundation backcross as the other parent.
