Hopefully this case eventually involves the Ship of Thessus. Given that the DNA in the G1 seeds undergoes repair, it's quite likely that the original G1 seeds no longer actually contain the original molecules. Also when the seed cells split their DNA some of the original DNA stays with the first cell and some with the second. Given these fundamental questions of identity it's hard to say what is the G1 seed and what is the G2 seed.
