Why are there seeds in seedless watermelons?

Do seedless watermelons grow from seeds?

  • And what about seedless oranges? Can they make seedless lemons?

  • Answer:

    Yes they come from seeds. They spray fruits while they are growing with hormones or chemicals that prevent seeds from forming and ripen the fruit. They also cross breed plants of a different number of chromosomes which cause the offspring to have an odd number of chromosome cause infertility. Also it seems that citrus is a bit harder to remove seeds.

Watermelon breeders discovered that crossing a diploid plant (bearing the standard two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) results in a fruit that produces a triploid seed which grew to develop a new watermelon plant which bears less seeds

they grow from seeds, and they can make seedless lemons..... by they i think we're both reffering to genetic scientists.

No, it is probably some sort of mutation that produces some offspring that do not contain seeds. It could skip generations.
