There are three varieties of banana.
Variety A:
Number of chromosomes in a leaf cell = 22
Growth rate of fruit = 2.9
Breaking strength of leaf = 10.8
Variety B:
Number of chromosomes in a leaf cell = 33
Growth rate of fruit = 6.9
Breaking strength of leaf = 9.4
Variety C:
Number of chromosomes in a leaf cell = 44
Growth rate of fruit = 7.2
Breaking strength of leaf = 7.8
Banana growers can only grow new variety B plants by producinglateral shoots near the base of the stem. Explain using celldivision how growing variety B on a large scale will affect thegenetic diversity of bananas.
