The most widely eaten variety of banana, the Cavendish, does not have seeds. It is a mutant which is cultivated precisely because people prefer not to have seeds in their bananas (just as they like seedless grapes, watermelons, etc.). However, bananas with seeds do exist. All fruit originally have seeds, because that is the evolutionary purpose of fruit, to get animals to disperse the seeds of the plant. Fruit are not going to evolve unless they serve some purpose for the plants upon which the fruit grows. However, you can get a seedless mutation, and since we humans like the seedless fruit, we cultivate it.
