The number of toacco seeds in a given pod does vary slightly. In our Virginia Tobacco strain we have counted as many as 500 seeds, though the counting is quite difficult as it takes over 300,000 seeds to make an ounce. The seeds are extremely small! In a good well grown plant, the number per pod always seems to be over a few hundred.

No, they are the seeds of the fruit of the cacao tree.
A cocoa pod typically contains 30-50 cocoa beans (seeds).

(This answer assumes the question is about the "Cocoa" bean from which Chocolate is made.) The Cocoa bean is the seed of the Cacao tree. Cacao trees may be grown from a single seed (that is, Cocoa bean), however in practice they are often propagated from a "cutting" to control the genetic heritage of the plant. (Cocoa beans are found in "Pods", that grow from the trunk of the tree, containing many beans or seeds. It is not necessary to plant a whole pod to get a tree.)
A pod from a cacao tree contains between 20 and 50 cocoa seeds (depending on the variety of the plant) that are fermented and used to make chocolate. The fat within the seeds is processed into cocoa butter.
The seed pod of the cocoa plant, Theobroma Cacao, which contains 30 to 50 cacao seeds.
The cocao bean is actually the kernal or "seed" of the cocoa pod.
the bean. It is inside of a little pod that looks like a green bean only they are brown. That is where they get the vanilla flavoring.
Cocoa beans are not "made" out of anything. They are a type of plant and seed pod that is grown and then harvested into cocoa powder, which is later turned into chocolate.
No, a runner bean is a legume vegetable. It is a type of bean that is grown for its edible seeds contained within the pod.
Yes No - the cocoa tree grows cocoa pods (the fruit) and inside the cocoa pod you will find cocoa beans. Seeds are not vegetables, but what we refere to as fruits and vegetables is confusing and misleading in general.
You would find a cluster of 20-40 coca beans inside each pod
