OK, thank you, now I'm thinking this:
- each ovule produces at most one seed
- each successful pollen grain produces at most one seed
- initially there are MANY ovules, like more ovules than there can be seeds in that pepper.
- ovules that are not fertilized by a pollen tube produce NO seed, wither and disappear
Thanks very much for hanging in there and answering repeatedly until I understood.
