Answer 1

A scion is grafted to a stock. The quality of fruits included will be determined by the genotype of Scion.

Explanation:

Grofting is the process of connecting two plants' components to create a composite plant. The stock is the plant with a strong root system, whereas the scion is the plant with a better flower or fruit field. When a scion is grafted on a stock, the plant's root system takes on the genotype of the stock, and the fruits produced have scion genotypes.
