Wild bananas, yes.
The ones you eat are a perfect example of a genetically modified plant - cultivated specifically for human consumption.

they are also triploids, means they are sterile. they do some wierd things like forcing the original bananas to have unreduced gametes. Also note that polyploidy in planets allows them to do this naturally, also give a them evolutionary advantages, the ones that arnt odd number polyploids.

Well, every natural plant have seeds. They need to reproduce. Those without seeds go extinct in one generation.

for some. some can clone themselves indefinitely, while still maintaing thier ability outcross(breed). there are some small examples of natural hybrids that are sterile and can only clone/reproduce because they are triploids. like strawberries can have up to 8n of thier chromosones, and hybridize.

Like the other replies say, wild ones do. But the ones we eat used to have them too, but we did the same magic on them as we did on wolves by creating pugs. They used to be small and so full of seeds there was barily any eatable parts.

Yes, the wild ones. They’re delicious, way better than a Cavendish but full of hard, black seeds. Like this:Image
