What seeds do a seedless watermelon come from? All fruits and vegetables come from seeds don't they?

Answer 1

Responses without sources aren't answers, just opinions.

Seedless fruits can develop in one of two ways: either the fruit develops without any pollination (parthenocarpy), or pollination triggers fruit development but the ovules or embryos abort without producing mature seeds. Seedless fruits are commonly produced on triploid plants, whose three sets of chromosomes prevent meiosis from taking place and thus do not produce fertile gametes. Such plants can arise by spontaneous mutation or by hybridization between diploid and tetraploid individuals of the same or different species.

Answer 2

Seedless watermelons still have seeds. They are just not the big black ones that you find in the regular watermelons. They are the smaller white ones that won't harm you if you swallow them.

No, not all fruits and vegetables come from seeds. Many fruits have pits (like the peach and the avocado). Pits are not seeds.

Potatoes and other tubers do not have seeds either. They grow from planting...are you ready...from the tuber itself.

These are the only ones I can think of off-hand, but I'm sure there are others.

Also, peanuts are technically a fruit. And I don't think they grow from seeds, but from a root.

And I think the coconut would start by planting a root, as would the banana.

Oh, and the pineapple can grow from planting the green leaves of a pinapple (with part of the pineapple still attached to it).

Answer 3

This question has already been answered but I just have to explain the white seeds you see. These aren't really seeds at all. At least they will never form a hard mature seed. They are called pips. You can eat them since they are soft and most seedless watermelon will have many of them in different sizes.

As for bananas, I believe they are propagated from cuttings.

Answer 4

Seedless watermelons do actually have some seeds in them. They are soft and white and can be digested, they just don't have the big hard black seeds in them.

Answer 5

seedless watermelon, like seedless grapes, and navel oranges are hybrids. They are the result of grafting. They still come from the same seeds as the normal varieties do.

Answer 6

seedless watermelons are grown and picked early, bfore there are seeds (or many) and the workers cant see contained in the watermelon to ascertain for seeds, yet there many times should be a lot less

Answer 7

Have you every seen a seedless watermelon. They have seeds.
The seeds just aren't black.

Answer 8

Every fruit that has no seeds has been genetically modified to remove the seeds.

Answer 9

the seeds aren't found inside the fruit

Answer 10

ha..ha.. of course they have seeds...it's just that their seeds are small....they are not hard and light in color.... it's just like those seedless grapes....they too have seeds but we ignore them as they are too small to taste.
