Richard, many varieties don't make polyembryonic seeds. Mangos come in two "races," one known as the Indian race (center of origin, tropical India), and the other one is Philippine or Indo-Chinese, originating in that part of the world. Indian types tend to be blockier, more truly beef-heart-shaped, and more brightly colored with red, pink, purple, orange tones. Indo-Chinese types tend to be longer, narrower, rather "s" shaped, and greenish-yellow to solid yellow in color. Indian types tend to be monoembryonic, and Indo-Chinese types are often polyembryonic. There are hybrids between the two, so you can't always tell for sure just by looking at the fruit from which the seed came, but you can make a pretty good guess that way.
