Answer 2

Squash plants are not grown from cuttings.  Lots of other fruits are, especially woody fruits, like trees and brambles, but squash plants are short-lived, and non-woody.  Clones are impractical.

In really simple terms, seedless watermelons are "mules" in the plant world.  A particular "mother" watermelon plant is pollinated with a particular "father" watermelon, and the resulting seed produced grows into seedless watermelons.  The "mother" and "father" plants are carefully cross-bred as often as needed to produce more seeds the grow into seedless watermelons.

It's very like where Mules come from.  They are a cross between horses and donkeys - but they are sterile and are unable to breed themselves.  Mules can not make baby mules.  More mules are gotten by continuing to breed together horses and donkeys to make the sterile mule offspring.

A similar process.

Answer 3

Same way they do with bananas, They use propagation. You take a cutting from one plant and grow another. All seedless fruit varieties are clones. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedless_fr...
