True breeding plants are nearly homozygous and produce offspring of their own kind. True breeding lines are those plants that have been generated through repeated self - pollination and have become homozygous for a particular trait. This trait is then passed onto the future generations if bred with another true-breeding plant.

Hence, the correct answer is 'near homozygous and produces offspring of its own kind.'
