In the beginning, bananas had seeds, but people wanted to eat bananas without seeds, so they continued cross-breeding, eliminating individuals with larger seeds in the offspring, and constantly purifying genes, so there were no seeds. Banana was born. Currently, bananas are generally cultivated through vegetative propagation, so they do not produce seeds.

Now everyone seems to be unable to find the seeds of a banana when it is cut open. However, it has seeds at the beginning, but people prefer it to grow larger and more fragrant pulp than seeds, so this has become the breeding direction of scientists.

During the breeding process, scientists will The individuals with the largest number of fruits are eliminated, leaving the individuals with larger pulp, and the genes are continuously hybridized to purify the genes.

Arrived In modern times, through continuous hybridization, the purification of genes has been completed, and seedless bananas were born. However, if it is cross-bred with other varieties of bananas, its genes may be "contaminated", so bananas are currently grown using vegetative propagation that does not change the genotype.
