A true breeding (pure line) plant can be differentiated from a hybrid as:
1. They only have one type of allele of the gene that controls the trait of interest.
2. They carry two different alleles for the gene that controls the trait of interest.
3. They can only reproduce by self fertilization.
4. They all have dominant alleles for the trait of interest.
