Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Large, juicy fruits with thick rinds and many seeds, in the gourd family: cantaloupe, casaba, honeydew, Crenshaw, Persian & watermelon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Not all fruits contain the same number of seeds. Fruits such as tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and melons usually have lots of seeds. Generally, oranges, apples, and pears contain about 10 seeds. Other fruits, such as avocados, plums, and peaches, have only one seed.

Detailed explanation-3: -All of the melons are vine-forming annuals that produce what is known by botanists as a “pepo”-actually a type of berry, rather than a true fruit. A pepo has a thick rind with a fleshy interior, housing seeds at its centre. Other plants that produce pepos include bananas, squashes, blueberries, and cranberries.

Detailed explanation-4: -A melon is any kind of edible, fleshy fruit in the Cucurbitaceae family. Many different cultivars have been produced, especially of muskmelons. Botanically speaking, the melon is a fruit, but some kinds are often considered vegetables.

Detailed explanation-5: -The seeds and fruits are the results of fertilization or sexual reproduction in plants. The ovary in angiosperms develops into the fruit whereas the ovules become the seeds enclosed within the fruit.
