Are apple and peach genetically related (and how)?

Technically the hard stuff is part of the fruit, and the actual seed
is
inside the hard stuff

get that far.
Iris,

I did keep that in mind. Do note that this is someone who happily throws
about terms such as "chromosome" and "gene". A little knowledge is a
dangerous thing. I still feel it is wisest to aim at accuracy (without
going
into boring detail)even when using a word such as "seed". Who knows what
your innocuous remark might have led too ...

I am not a person who throws about terms without knowing what they mean.
Although I am not a biologist, I have tried to understand some concepts
of genetics. It enabled me to understand the last paragraph in Steward
Robert Hinsley's post. Still I wouldn't throw about the terms he used,
without
rereading their exact definitions.
