Seedless Grapes
Have you ever bitten into a big juicy grape only to realise that you have bitten onto the seeds as well? Isn’t that feeling irritating? You pick up the big juicy grape expecting it to be sweet, Buy Generic Cialis Online fresh and delicious and at the very moment you bite into it, you hear the sound of the seeds crushing against your teeth. I don’t know about you, but I will start to filter out the many fragments of the seeds in my mouth and spit it out.
Luckily, some scientists/farmers apparently have the same problem and kinda found the way to grow grapes that are seedless for those easily irritated people like me. lol.
They came up with the seeds of the seedless grape plant and gave it to farmers to plant it. So the farmers planted the plant and I get seedless grapes to eat. Then I began to wonder while chewing on my seedless juicy grape – If the grape plant produces grapes with no seed, how in the first place can there be the seed to plant it?
So this question led me to another question. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Hmm, exactly like my question – The plant or the seed? SOMEBODY TELL ME!! HAHAHA.
OK, I’m just talking nonsense. You never see the category meh? “Just for Laughs” ma.. Now please laugh while I go ponder over my question.
*hmm.. seedless plant where to find seed leh? then no seed where can plant? wah lan~~~~~~~

yea… thats so amazing. find the answer n tell me ok? thanks
With regards to the seedless question…
Because grapevines are vegetatively propagated, by cuttings, the lack of seeds does not present a problem for reproduction. It is, however, an issue for breeders, who must either use a seeded variety as the female parent or rescue embryos early in development using tissue culture techniques
COOL SHIT! Undergrad really undergrad, clever! now try the chicken and the egg question leh! haha
In this case, the egg is assumed to be a chicken’s egg. This is an obvious assumption since the question itself implies a link between the two.
If one assumes the egg to be a chicken egg then one must define what a chicken egg is:
If: A chicken egg will hatch a chicken
Then a bypass is allowed: An animal that was not a chicken laid the chicken egg which contained the first chicken. In this case the egg came first.
If: A chicken egg is the egg that a chicken lays
Then a bypass is allowed: A chicken (that hatched from a non-chicken egg) laid an egg (a chicken egg). In this case the chicken came first.
If: A chicken egg will hatch a chicken and A chicken egg is the egg that a chicken lays.
Then there may be an error of definition. If the definition of “chicken” used does not refer to “chicken eggs”, then the chicken must come first, because without chickens there cannot be any chicken eggs
Wah… popular topic…. happy birthday BTW
