Weak seeds = weak Plants?

Tomatovator · February 19, 2007

I bought several varieties of seeds from commercial sellers and one of the seed packets contained 60 seeds instead of 30 seeds and is labeled that it is because of below average germination for the seeds. I planted 12 seeds just to see how many would germinate and only one did. The seedling is growing very slowly. If the seeds are below average as to germination will the resulting plants be below average as to yield, taste, etc. or will the ones that grow be the same as those grown from any other seeds?
