Bananas seem quite normal, but they are not. Ever wondered where the seeds are?
It turns out that Bananas usually have big black seeds, making eating them quite challenging. But a type of mutant banana was created that does not longer have seeds.
This banana has all genes present in 3 copies, much like down syndrome in humans, only for all chromosomes. As a result the seeds don't develope, leaving a big tatsy fruit.
But that comes with a big problem. How does one grow plants that have no seeds? In fact many plants can be grown from an offset. Meaning that a (special) part of the plant is removed and continues growing on its own. This means that we now have two cloned plants.
Not only are all Bananas mutants, they are also all identical clones of one mutated mother plant.
But they do tatse great.
This post is part of the banana program. I welcome @steemperfect, @bee84, @kamilah-lamar, @syead and @photchie6440 to the steem community.

The good news is : bananas are the berry of an herb, so as long as the roots of that herb spread like a weed, (Ask anyone living in Hawai'i and they will confirm) they will keep propagating and providing us with yummy mutant nutrition for a long time.
YUM!

Banana is very useful for health.
The calories contain plenty of calories. So just playing a banana
It is the strength of the body for a long time gets in. The bananas work like antacids. Not just all the Bananas is mutant, they are all similar clones of one mutated mother plant but its great taste!
