Why are lemon seeds seemingly randomly distributed about the center of the lemon?

Lemons (which I buy from the market) have a high degree of axial symmetry.  Rotate them around their major axis, and they're usually pretty similar from all angles.  Cut one in half along the minor axis, and the segments are each about the same angular size.  The albedo is pretty circular and uniform, too.   


And then, the seeds.   There are usually fewer than one per segment.   And when that's the case, you just have 1 in one segment, another in another, and they jut off in seemingly random angles.   


Why the absence of azimuthal symmetry for seeds?

The seeds that you see are the ( ova? baby seeds? idk) ones that were fertilized while it was a flower.   


it starts out in a neat pattern when they are small and inside the flower but the ones that get fertilized are random ( due to pollination ). So, once the it drops its flowers and starts building its fruit ( in order to spread it seeds ) only the ones that are viable offspring grow larger.
