Solution

This statement is true.

Explanation:

Plants are considered true breeding when all the plants of the parental generation resemble each other, meaning they consistently produce offspring with the same traits over generations. This indicates that the plants are homozygous for the traits, leading to uniform phenotypes in the parental generation and its progeny, which is a key concept used in Mendel’s breeding experiments to ensure predictable inheritance patterns.
