To find the number that should replace the letter [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row, we need to add up the individual parts of the "Seed color" data provided in the table.

According to the table:

- Seed color: 6,022 yellow
- Seed color: 152 yellow

We need to summarize these values:

[tex]\[ 6,022 + 152 \][/tex]

Let's perform the addition step-by-step:

1. Add the units digit:
[tex]\[ 2 + 2 = 4 \][/tex]

2. Add the tens digit:
[tex]\[ 2 + 5 = 7 \][/tex]

3. Add the hundreds digit:
[tex]\[ 0 + 1 = 1 \][/tex]

4. Add the thousands digit:
[tex]\[ 6 + 0 = 6 \][/tex]

Therefore, the sum is:

[tex]\[ 6,022 + 152 = 6,174 \][/tex]

The correct number to replace [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row is:

[tex]\[ 6,174 \][/tex]

Comparing this number to the given answer choices:
- 18,066
- 3,011
- 207
- 2,001

None of these numbers match 6,174, leading to an observation that none of the answer choices is correct based on the provided table data. Ensure that either the question, the answer choices, or the data in the table are checked for consistency. Nonetheless, the calculated answer based on the provided data is:

[tex]\[ 6,174 \][/tex]
