Question

How can there be more than one generation of seedless fruit if seedless fruit have no seeds?

Answer 1

Seedless watermelon, is triploid. It is produced crossing by diploid and tetraploid lines.

Answer 2

there isn't

seedless fruit are a recessive trait

so they continue to cross two fruits that have the dominant seed trait with a recessive trait present

in every 4 fruits bred, one of them should be the seedless variation.

check out punnett squares :)

im glad i decided not to skip that bio class...

Answer 3

Trees have been known to live a bit over a year and I think they are propagated through splicing or grafting.

Answer 4

Most fruits are made to be seedless by crossing parents of different ploidy.  This means that the two parents do not have the same amount of genetic material.  The two parents produce seeds that are the plants that make seedless fruit.  Since that plant now has weird numbers of genetic material, it cannot reproduce or produce seeds.  These plants produce fruit with no seed and if they are perrennial (come back every year) they will continue to do this but if they are annual (die every year) the same two parents will need to be crossed to get new seeds for new seedless plants to be grown.
