vivipary in tomatoes (discuss.tchncs.de)

If a tomato runs out of the hormone that keeps seeds dormant, they may start sprouting from inside the fruit (this is called vivipary)🍅

I mean, ectopic pregnancy is that concept, roughly, but real. Baby growing where baby cannot grow.

This reinforces the myth that babies come from sperm. But babies come almost completely from the egg (cytoplasm, membrane, all of the organelles, as much genetic code than sperm, nutrients).

So guess what, you don't have to imagine ovarian pregnancy because it's real!

Edit: Happens even without fertilizarion with the teratoma. Yikes.
