how do they get seedless watermellon?

Answer 1

Seedless watermelons are hybrids so the seeds don't mature. The seedless watermelons still have seeds, but they immature remaining white and soft instead of maturing to a typical black seed with a thick shell.

From the website below...So, where do the seeds come from? Simply stated, the number of chromosomes (the threadlike bodies within cells that contain the inheritance units called genes) in a normal watermelon plant is doubled by the use of the chemical colchicine. Doubling a normal (diploid) watermelon results in a tetraploid plant (one having four sets of chromosomes). When the tetraploid plant is bred back, or pollinated, by a diploid or normal plant, the resulting seed produces a triploid plant that is basically a "mule" of the plant kingdom, and it produces seedless watermelons. Seed of seedless varieties are available from most major seed companies.
