Wanted to play around with cross pollination of tomato plants and was inspecting on of the plants and found what looks like a green dandelion.... I never seen it on my other tomato plants. The one that I found it on is a mr.stripey tomato plant here are some pictures.
Is it a flower? Dose this verity grow differently than the others I thought tomato plants all grew the same type of flower. Please help

Some tom flowers are double, and even triple. They will produce a large oddly shaped fruit.
A genetic mutation? Can this be controlled in any way? Like maybe handed down in the seeds that come from this tomato?

No just an oddball flower bud! The other flowers produced on this plant may be normal!
