Danish is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As
he cuts open the papaya, they discover great numbers of slime-covered seed inside,
surrounded by soft flesh and soft skin. Before papaya fruits ripen and the seeds inside
them mature, their flesh is bitter or sour. Only later does it become tasty.
Discuss how this feature improves the odds for the plant's reproductive success and
identify the possible agents to disperse the seeds.
