Question

Transverse section of ripe pawpaw fruit

Answer 1

Answer:

Carica papaya - with orange flesh and numerous black seeds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ripe pawpaws give off a wonderful fruity aroma. If the pawpaw does change color, it will likely turn a lighter shade of green, possibly with some yellowing. A more reliable indicator is feeling. The fruit will begin to feel softer, much as a peach or avocado.
