Can you find seeds in a banana?

Answer 1

Yes they do! If you look at the bottom of a banana (not the end wear you pull bunched bananas apart, the other end) there are tiny black/brown seeds.

Also in some cases there are seeds at the other end. (Not the end I was talking about in the first paragraph!)

Answer 2

the seed of a banana are in the banana once you have peeled it the little black dots in the middle of the banana are the seeds

In the modern cultivated bananas (Cavendish) it is no longer a true seed only a remnant. Cultivated bananas are propagated by corms cut from the stem of the plant. In other words they are cloned rather than planted from seed. Over the years this has diminished the gene pool which has left the banana more prone to disease and genetic defects. Some authorities that the cultivated banana may well become extinct in the next 20 or 30 years.

Answer 3

Banana seeds are the dark specs that can be seen at the centre of the banana fruit. An extremely small amount of seeds become pollinated and actually mature or ripen, I seem to remember reading that it is in the region of 1 seed per 10,000 fruit! To this end almost every single banana plant today is propagated via offsets or tissue culture.

*Those harvested in modern times are tisomy (have three sets of chromosomes) which makes them mostly steril. Those black dots are seeds, but not functional; in a sense they are seed abortions.

This lack of genetic diversity is extremely worrying to banana producers as if a major pest or virus were to attack banana's they would basically have no means of trying to develop a resistant strain of banana.

The fruit is trilocular meaning that it has three locules containing unripe seed, this can be seen in most varieties of banana if you split the inner fruit from the top down - it peels into 3 segments.

Answer 4

You cannot find viable banana seeds. there are vestigial seeds within the banana itself, and they are easily seen as the dark markings in the center of the fruit when it is cut in cross-section. Bananas have not been grown from seed for a very long time. They are propagated through cuttings.

Answer 5

The seeds are in the center of the fruit. When you slice a banana, the brown part is the seeds.

Answer 6

if u bite into 1 u can c little black dots in the core, those r the seeds

Answer 7

Original bananas contained large seeds, cultivars with small seeds are preferred for human consumption

Answer 8

through the midle of the fruit

Answer 9

Where do you find the seed in a banana
