Question: Banana plant gives fruits only……….. in life.
Options:
Four times
Thrice
Twice
Once
After producing a single bunch of bananas, the main stem of the banana plant dies, but new "suckers" or offshoots grow from the base, which then produce their own bunch of bananas, essentially creating a new generation of banana plants from the original one.
• Key points about banana plants and fruit production:
✏️Monocarpic plants:
Banana plants are considered monocarpic, meaning they only produce fruit once in their lifetime before dying.
✏️Suckers:
New banana plants grow from suckers that sprout from the base of the old plant.
✏️Fruiting cycle:
Once a banana plant produces a bunch of bananas, the main stem dies, and new suckers are nurtured to produce fruit in the next cycle.
