Answer 1

all fruits will grow from a seed. we have two main ways of making “seedless” fruit. one by spraying/neutering the fruit before they develop seeds themselves, or by genetically modifying them to not grow seeds after they are planted. however, it’s typically easier to just spray them with chemicals to prevent them from developing seeds. b/c you still need seeds in the future.
