Watermelon and bananas

This is what I learned from studying for my biology test:

Buy seeded watermelon because seedless watermelon have a wrong set of chromosomes so they're less fit and can't produce offspring (aka seeds). Meaning, they're defective! A seeded watermelon has a right set of chromosomes so it should be a "fully functional" watermelon and has a higher fitness level.

In other words, a seeded watermelon should taste better and a seedless watermelon shouldn't. :)

Did you know we buy seedless bananas too? I always wondered why bananas didn't seem to have seeds. Those little black dots are the aborted seeds. Interesting, eh?
