Are seeds collected from F1 hybrids viable, if so will the seedlings have the same traits as the parent plant?



Answers:
No, the phenotypes will be different,
example: the cross of hybrid seeds Aa xAa

Let's say gene "A " is dominant, while gene "a" produces the recessive trait,

If gene A=green(phenotype), and a=white

The parents would both be green: Aa

The offspring would be:
Aa,Aa, AA, aa
which would mean you would get 3 green offspring and one white, this is known as the 1:3 phenotypic ratio

As above - the seeds are still viable though - as long as the original parent plants are from the same species.
You will get F2 generation., the second filial generation. The offspring resulting from sexual reproduction in the F1 generation.
possibly viable. traits similar but not necessarily the same
