Growing Seedless Watermelons. If youâve enjoyed a delicious seedless watermelon, you might wonder how they are grown. It starts by treating watermelon seedlings with a chemical that makes the plant have 4 times (4X) their normal number of chromosomes.

Verification is a process to confirm the accuracy the information you provided on the FAFSA. 1  Verification selection may be random or may be required if your FAFSA data was incomplete, estimated or inconsistent. 2  The U.S. Department of Education selects some students for the verification process.
What's this fuss about true randomness? Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings.
