Yes, a banana has a seed. It is in the center of the fruit. Cut the banana longways to notice tiny black specks, that I thought was a tiny pebble, and there's your seed.
Actually, the bananas you eat don't have seeds. Yes, there are the black specks, but those are vestigial remnants of the seeds. See, most bananas available for food are genetic mutants which were engineered not to have seeds. Otherwise, they would be difficult to eat. They have 50% more chromosomes than normal (triple haploid). When they find an exact plant they like, they propagate it with clippings, since that is the only way they can grow new ones when they removed the ability to have seeds.
When you hear people talk about bananas going extinct, they only mean an exact cultivar. What happens is that fungus mutates to live on banana plants, and it reaches a point where they have to use another cultivar for commercial food use. Every banana bush from the same original plant has the same DNA, so if a fungus mutates to attack bananas, every plant from that one is at risk. That is why you might notice that the bananas you buy in the store now might not taste as good as when you were young. They came from a plant with a different DNA profile. They switched plants because the previous plants were becoming diseased, and the new plants have to be genetically different enough to where they won't become diseased with what was killing the othe plants. These are the complications of rendering banana plants virtually seedless.
Yes. Eat one. Look at it.
Wild banana plants produce bananas with seeds, and are almost inedible. Cultivated bananas do not have seeds, just tiny black specks where the seeds would be. It is incorrect to refer to those black specks as seeds, as they cannot grow and actual banana seeds are much larger. Wild bananas are diploid and thus have the normal number of chromosomes. Cultivated banana plants are triploid, meaning they have 50% more chromosomes, thus rendering any fruit from them sterile.
Wild bananas do but the kind you buy at the store do not.
Those little black dots you see inside the fruit are seed remnants but they did not develop. These bananas are mutants that people took and started to grow because seedless fruits are favored. These bananas have three sets of chromosomes (triploid plants) and this makes them sterile. In wild bananas the seeds are fairly large, black, and hard so they make eating the fruit more of a task. The mutant bananas are grown by propagation; the plant sends up little shoots from its root system, these are then separated from the parent plant so that they produce their own bananas.
yes a banana has seeds thats why its a fruit
yes, but they are not grown comerically since the seeds are big and take up much of the space in the fruit, it makes them hard to eat.
Wild bananas have seeds, but the bananas we eat today are made seedless, similar to watermelon.
No.Banana is not a seed since,it does not have any seed and therefore,the whole banana is eatable.
Well, a banana does have seeds but they are not viable. When you eat a banana, you will notice some black spots in the centre, these are the seeds of the banana. A banana plant reproduces with it's stem and not it's seeds because they are too small.
A banana has seeds but you can't see them in the naked eye
The very small seeds are grown within the flesh of the banana
Banana's do have seeds they are in the middle of the banana and they are mushy so you don't realise that there are seeds.
Because the seeds are in the center of the banana so you can't see them unless you cut to the banana in half width wise.
NO when you dry a banana you can see the seeds and plant them.
A banana is in the fruit family. Bananas, believe it or not, have seeds. If you cut a banana, you will see small black dots around the center. Those dots are seeds. All fruit has seeds. A banana, having seeds, is a fruit.
No, those are the seeds of the banana.
All bananas have seeds. The seeds from the fruit of wild banana trees are relatively large and hard, and those of cultivated bananas are soft and much smaller.
It has white flesh which is very sticky and in the center there are seeds, but you can't use these seeds to grow a banana tree.
Yes and no. The plantain and cultivated banana are sterile, their seeds do not develop. You can see where the seeds would be, they are the black dots in the middle of the banana.
