You can predict how many segments are inside a citrus fruit. 🍊🍋🟩 @Alex Dainis 🧬🔬 explains how citrus fruits develop from the ovaries of citrus flowers. Those ovaries contain multiple distinct sections called locules, and each locule develops into its own segment inside the fruit. By peeling back the tiny stem remaining on the fruit, you can see exactly where each locule connected to the tree. Count those dots and you have your segment count!
