Well, here&rsquo;s something that might make you look at your next banana a little differently: the vast majority of bananas we eat globally, especially the popular Cavendish variety, are actually <em>clones</em> of each other!</p> <p>Seriously! Unlike most fruits that grow from seeds, the bananas you find in the supermarket are sterile, meaning they don&rsquo;t produce viable seeds. Instead, new banana plants are grown from cuttings of existing plants. This means every Cavendish banana plant is genetically identical to its parent, and to every other Cavendish banana plant on the planet. It&rsquo;s like a whole world of identical twins, but for fruit!</p>
