Question about seeds from cross-polinated plants

Do any of the seeds from a cross-pollinated plant produce the same species, or does each seed (from same plant) produce different variations of the species? I'm at the point where I have to toss a lot of seeds, and am afraid I've tossed too many.Aloha from Hawaii!

But do all the seeds from the cross-pollinated plant produce the same species?

Hmmm... maybe I'm not making myself clear. Do the cross-pollinating of the plants work like human DNA? For example, mom & dad have brown eyes, but their baby has grey eyes, because of dad's grandfather eyes were grey.
So can I get a completely different seed from a cross-pollinated plant that's been many times cross-pollinated.
Hm,mmm?

Yes, a cross-pollinited plant produces each time the same seeds!It's its own seeds.

Mendel's rules do not apply to Plant Tycoon, so all the seeds from a "cross" are the same. It's not like crossing genotypes, but more like mixing paint colors: You mix red and blue paints and get purple. Purple paint stays purple. You can't get red and blue back from mixing purple with purple. That only works with co-dominant "red" and "blue" alleles following Mendel's rules in real world genetics. You can cross red-flowered sweet peas and blue-flowered sweet peas to get purple-flowered sweet pea plants. When you self-pollinate those, you get 25% red-flowered, 25% blue-flowered and 50% purple-flowered peas. Plant Tycoon "genetics" does not work that way though.
