Hybrid seeds are deliberately crossbred for particular traits, such as growth pattern or disease resistance. They have been hand-pollinated and are patented, often sterile, and genetically identical within food types. These plants are usually grown in a monocultural environment and are cultivated for mass production and sale. They must be sturdy to withstand mechanical picking and cross-country shipping. They do not compare to the quality and taste of heirloom plants, but they do produce large, healthy fruit that appeals to most shoppers. Unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again. Which statement can be removed and not affect the excerpt’s reliability?

Answer:

Unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again.

Explanation:

This is the statement that can be removed and not affect the excerpt's reliability. In this excerpt, we learn about hybrid seeds, and how we obtain and employ them. The first few sentences talk about this topic. However, the last sentence tells us how hybrid seeds might not be useful if our purpose is to get the same plant again. This statement contributes little to the rest of the passage, and if we were to remove it, the passage would still be logical and informative.
