Why Do Bananas Have No Seeds?

Bananas are a favourite fruit with many people. You may notice that all fruits have seeds, but bananas have none. This is because the pollens on banana stamens are not well developed and without proper pollination the plant cannot bear fruit with seeds. Sometimes, when you bite a banana, you may find some brown dots in the centre, these dots are actually degenerated "seeds". The bananas we eat now are cultivated from wild bananas. The wild plants originally did bear fruit with hard seeds, but some of them, without being pollinated, bear

seedless fruit. People liked the seedless ones and so over a long period of cultivation the new variety of seedless banana has come into being.
