Seedless Watermelon Seed
Seedless watermelons were created over 50 years ago. To make this kind of fruit possible, male pollen for watermelons, which has 22 chromosomes per cell, is crossed with female watermelon flowers that have been chemically altered to have 44 chromosomes per cell instead of 22. No genetic modification is involved in this process. Instead, the resulting watermelon is a triploid, meaning it has 33 chromosomes instead of 22. This makes it a sterile hybrid of traditional watermelon, which means it's incapable of producing mature, and therefore, fertile, black seeds. So any seeds the fruit tries to produce remain immature hollow shells, which are the white seeds that are so common in seedless watermelons.

So any seeds the fruit tries to produce remain immature hollow shells, which are the white seeds that are so common in seedless watermelons.
Seedless watermelons are triploid. They have three sets of chromosomes. This odd number results in them being sterile and not producing seeds. The triploid seed is the seed that produces seedless watermelons! In other words, a seedless watermelon is a sterile hybrid which is created by crossing male pollen for a watermelon, containing 22 chromosomes per cell, with a female watermelon flower with 44 chromosomes per cell.
