In general, you should not expect that growing a fruit seed will yield a plant with similar fruits (if it will grow at all): Most of the fruits we enjoy are carefully bred for good sugar/acid balance, and offspring will mostly be quite different. In addition, most fruit trees are grafted onto stems of other varieties to get better root characteristics. The nicest counterexample I know of is the danish apple "Filippa", which is a rather acidic apple that stores well (I usually eat my last Filippas early March): This variety can grow from seed and be left on its own root.
