Chapter 13, Problem 11TYU, SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE For selected answers, see Appendix A. The Cavendish banana, the world's

For selected answers, see Appendix A.

The Cavendish banana, the world's most popular fruit, is currently threatened by extinction due to a fungus. This banana variety is "triploid" (311, with three sets of chromosomes) and can only reproduce through cloning by cultivators. Given what you know about meiosis, explain how the banana's triploid number accounts for its inability to form normal gametes. Considering genetic diversity, discuss how the absence of sexual reproduction might make this domesticated species vulnerable to infectious agents.
