Practise AP Biology 5.1.A questions by tracing meiosis I and II, chromosome-number changes and the formation of haploid daughter cells.
Which of the following best explains why triploid bananas do not produce seeds?
The cells of the banana plant are unable to replicate DNA, thus preventing cell division and limiting growth.
The banana plants lack enough genetic diversity to properly hybridize.
The production of gametes is disrupted because of unequal pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
The production of seeds is not required because triploid plants produce gametes without fertilization.
