fruit genes

Apparently all of my three loyal readers (yes, I'm talking about you. Thanks for reading!) are curious about the genetics of fruit too. So I researched it more. It took me eleventeen hundred hours of sifting through agricultural research to find this highly scientific answer.

I have simplified it down to two identifying genes for those who are not genetafruitologists like myself. You're welcome. Lets say that the banana and apple each have one dominate and one recessive gene. When they [insert birds and bees speech here] then there are one of four options that their offspring may come out as.

1. If both dominate genes are passed on (++) the offspring will split the difference.
2. If the banana's dominate gene and the apple's recessive gene are passed on (+-) the offspring will resemble the banana but will still carry some characteristics of the apple.
3. If the banana's recessive gene and the apple's dominate gene are passed on (-+) the offspring will resemble the apple but will still carry some characteristics of the banana. This is what we saw with my fruit.
   
4. If both recessive genes are passed on (--) the offspring will be grapes.

Thank you April for the suggestion of a diagram.

I am still unsure of how taste factors in. I will work on that and get back to you.
