Seedless watermelons are grown from seeds. These seeds are produced by crossing diploid and tetraploid lines of watermelon, with the resulting seeds producing sterile triploid plants. This *will* be on the test.

I'd bet money they are sterile. I eat them with abandon, blissfully assured that they won't sprout in my colon and send a watermelon vine out my butt in search of the sun.

Harry was just beside himself over it. He started in like the 2nd inning and was still going back to it in the 4th. Stone was trying desperately to get back to the game.
