Drawing of banana

in Steem Kitchen15 days ago

Hi @muhammad-ahmed. I'm grateful for this banana drawing. It's been long I ate banana. So when I saw this contest, I was pushed to get a a bunch of it. Of course I had to draw it. But at the same time, I guess my own drawing has it own beauty.

Let's walk in.

Many of us eat banana, but we do not know the genetic constitution of banana. In this discussion today, I would be unveiling them one after the other.


When we talk about BANANA, the first thing that comes into your mind is: the surroundings.

This are: the pericarp, mesocarp and exocarp. Before the banana is accessed, the surroundings need to be remove or you can call it peel off.

Exocarp

This is the outermost skin of the banana, or you can call it layer. When you buy banana, the side that attract you to buy the banana is the Exocarp.

Mesocarp

This is the second layer or middle layer of the banana. It is soft and edible. You will only see the mesocarp, immediately you peel off the exocarp.

Pericarp

This is the innermost skin of the banana.


Both the Exocarp, Mesocarp and Pericarp contains Sugars, Starch and other biochemical nutrients that catalyze the rate of reactions.


How do the bananas reproduce?

Bananas reproduce by using their suckers located in the roots. They do not produce seeds—sterile. This is due to the fact that the genetical constitution of banana is triploid (33). They have three set of chromosomes with 11 chromosomes in each of the set.

And so, due to this, they cannot produce viable seeds. They cannot produce gametes—sperm or eggs for sexual reproduction. That is why they use suckers.
