Default Will Roundup kill ungerminated seed?

Three weeks before I planted my food plot I sprayed Roundup mixing it 2 quarts to roughly 20 gallons of water. I planted a turnip plot (Shotplot seed) about 3 weeks ago. It was dry and we were expecting some rain just after I planted but the rain never came. A week after planting the weeds started to come but no turnips or very few of them anyway. So I waited another week, talked to a good friend of mine and I decided to spray again a week later (2 weeks after planting) if there was no germination happening. I was also told that because some of the seed did not germinate that the Roundup would not effect that ungerminated seed. I sprayed last week. I checked the seed again today and everything is dead again but still no germination. I reseeded some today again and would expect some results next week maybe.

The question is did the Roundup ruin the seed which had not germinated or will it still germinate?
