"Does the female of the cross provide a lion's share of the genetic make up or would it be more like 50/50?" [Dunkel]

Hey, Doug, unlike a human marriage, with tomatoes the relationship is more perfect with regard to give and take. HA!

"Does male or female dictate size of fruit?" [Dunkel]

My general understanding (limited as it is) is that male tomatoes insist that size doesn't matter, and female tomatoes are more likely to augment size and shape or iron out wrinkles with injections of water.
