[Maximum number: 1]
Which of the following best explains why triploid bananas do not produce seeds?
A
The cells of the banana plant are unable to replicate DNA, thus preventing cell division and limiting growth.
B
The banana plants lack enough genetic diversity to properly hybridize.
C
The production of gametes is disrupted because of unequal pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
D
The production of seeds is not required because triploid plants produce gametes without fertilization.
