The common type of banana we buy and eat is a Cavendish banana. They arose from random mutant bananas that were produced sexually from Wild banana plants. The Cavendish banana is infertile and can only be produced by cloning from root shoots. Given that large commercial growers worldwide now plant only the mutant type resulting from the clones they produce, which of the following statements would be true relative to their reproduction?

A
This type of reproduction would require successful pollination.

B
Only asexual reproduction is used to produce new plants.

C
Both sexual and asexual reproduction occurs to produce new plants.

D
New gene combinations are possible from this type of reproduction.

The correct option is B) Only asexual reproduction is used to produce new plants.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which daughter cells are produced which are exactly identical to the parent cell. Cloning can be described as a type of asexual reproduction as the results of a clone produce identical copies of the parent cell.

As the common type of banana is sterile and cannot be made by sexual means, and it is only made by asexual methods this means that the common type of banana can only be produced by asexual means.
