No it doesn't. It jst depends on the type of fruit it is. Take the pomagranit for example. All it is is seeds with a skin, or the orange, it's about the same size and you rarely find seeds in them! It's all about the fruit.

I'm amazed nobody gave you this answer yet. The size of the fruit and the size of the seed both depend on the reproductive strategy of the plant. Fruit evolved as a way to get animals to eat seeds and transport them to other places. Some plants seeds will only germinate if they have gone through the digestive tract of a particular animal. Humans have monkeyed with this by artificially selecting for plants that give larger fruits relative to seeds, but the strategy remains the same. You eat the fruit and move the seeds. The tremendous variety of life has given us everything from Mangos with one huge seed to apples with many small seeds, but in the end the strategy is still the same.

I think if the fruit is in enviornment that have plenty of nutrients it will have small many seeds. This will help to spread out many seeds. If the enviornment is dry and harsh fruit might have large fewer seeds in order to provide the seeds initial energy for it to start growing.
Seed is basically pack of fuel a plant will need for initial development. I think plants adapt size and number of seeds that give its off springs better chance of survial.

Hi. Ever seen a pineapple? Ever seen a pineapple seed? I think the size does not matter in this case. Peach and apple about 3" diameter. Peach 1, apple 10.

It dosent if giant pumpkins are used as an example. I bought seeds for a 500 pound pumpkin and the seeds were regular sized.

no, not necessarily. it is usually the other way around. the larger the seed is, the bigger the fruit is!

I havn't thought of that, i think it does not affect the size of the fruit...

no, because some fruits are seedless, but i imagine that if the fruit is bigger that would give more room for more seeds.
