Do tomatoes and strawberries have a certain number of seeds/pips?

Question

Does Nature have a preordained odd or equal figure for things such as this? A staff room discussion brought this up, as well as whether people think of inanimate objects (such as fruit) as 'being' odd or even!!!

Answer 1

It probably depends upon how the flower was pollinated.  But the potential number of seeds is genetic.

Answer 2

The number is variable and large .
