My Biology teacher told me a banana is a berry; do you believe him?

In Botany like any other science a number of things are well defined and there is no room for uncertainty or ambiguity.\nBanana fruit is a berry as it satisfies the basic conditions laid down for such a fruit.\n 1)It is an indehiscent fruit- Indehiscent fruit is the one that does not break open automatically when it is ripe.It may rot away but will not split open.(Banana,Tomato, Grapes)\n 2) It is a fleshy fruit - All berries have to be fleshy, juicy or soft and pulpy.( All the three mentioned above.)\n 3)It has no stony endocarp- This is a bit difficult to understand, still I will try.\n   A fruit has a wall within which the seeds are located.This wall has a botanical term PERICARP; (peri=around; Carp=fruit).\n In many cases, this PERICARP is further distinguished it to three layers, namely EPICARP(the outer most layer or the skin of the fruit.EPI= outermost) , MESOCARP(the middle layer;MESO=middle.), ENDOCARP(the inner most layer, ENDO= inner most.)\nIn Banana , the 'Peeling' is the epicarp.The edible fleshy part is the Meso- and Endocarp together(It is all pulpy) in which the tiny non functional brownish seeds lie embedded.\nAs the seeds are almost non existent it is a seed less berry.Grape is also a seed less berry. Tomato is a many seeded berry; the epicarp or the skin of which is often removed by blanching.

Oh! my dad used to tell me that squirrels were cats, radishes were apples, and that peanut butter was made by monkeys and elephants. I believed that until I saw a Mr.rogers episode when they visited the peanut butter factory.

No thanks.  I've got another banana I tend to.\n\nI wonder, does that make me a heathern?

Can I have it? I love to collect unique specimens. I'll keep it in a jar on my desk at school and you can be our "class brain." *shrugs* Hey..it's one way to be the teacher's pet. :D

Fruits are classified according to various morphological and functional characteristics. \nBasically fruits are either dry (i.e. sunflower or acorn) or fleshy. \nAmong the fleshy fruit types, the berries are those fleshy fruits without a stony layer, and with one to many seeds. In the case of the banana fruits, they are a special type of berry because they're parthenogenetic (=develop without male fertilization) and thus seedless.

banana does not grow from seeds.  Asexual reproduction.  Male is useless.  Plants will multiply from roots.

I don't like your teacher.  I think he/she is looking for B. genes, but then he/she should not have put chromosomes as an alternative choice.  Mendel's theory of independent assortment was only true because the genes he studied were on separate chromosomes.  It could be argued that what he was actually studying was chromosomal inheritance.

Bacteria are procaryotes. Their cell structure is different from those of plants and animals (Eucaryotes) they are in their own category altogether. Years and years ago they were categorized as plants. Some of them have clorophyll. How old is your brother's science book?

I can't be sure, but I think oatmeal would work. That's what the stuff we were growing them on in genetics lab looked like, anyway.

Well I did this in sixth grade and it has to do with drinks.. The teacher had a I think a fish tank of water.. just something big to hold water and he had cans of different sodas or drinks..like diet or not..juice.. anything seeing if they'd float or not. And we had to figure out why one was floating and the other one wasn't. So that could be a possibility.\n\nAnother one I remember.. I don't know if they are too old for it or not, but we were learning about our taste buds. My teacher blind folded a student and he would have them smell a lemon.. and guess what it is.. or something harder, and then taste a little bit.. the food selections out there are are phenominal.. so yuo could have a lot of fun with that. Hehe and he also tricked us when we would have to smell one type of food and have us taste another... We learned about our senses and the different taste buds on our tongue. I really like this one.. If you do it I hope you and your class has a fun time doing it. :)

Sounds healthy to me!!!   lolol\n\nActually, a chick knows what she is doing by holding a banana in her mouth in front of a guy.  Sounds like she might have been trying to tease you.  Since you were the only one there, only you will know.\n\nbtw.....We can't really help what thoughts pop into our heads.\n\nNow, if you will excuse me........I'm craving bananas!   lmao

Crissing out: \n\nSBAIXNLETATNERSAS =>\nS**IX*LET*T*ERS** = SIX LETTERS\n\n\nWe have:\n\n*BA**N***A*N***AS = BANANAS\n\n\n\n\nI like Bananas.\n\n--- LeeeN

A group of scientist placed five monkeys in a cage, in the centre of the cage they put stairs and, on it a cluster of bananas.\nWhen a monkey went up the stairs to grab the bananas, the scientists launched cold water in the ones that were in the soil. After certain time, when a monkey went up the stairs he would be beaten by the other monkeys.\nAfter sometime, no monkey tried to went up the stairs, despite the temptation for the bananas.\nThen the scientists substituted one of the 5 monkeys.\nThe first thing he did was go up the stairs, but he was quickly removed by the others that immediately start to beat him.\nAfter some beatings, he quit trying to go up the stairs.\nA second one was replaced and the same story occurred, having the first substitute participated, with enthusiasm, in the beating of the novice.\nOne third was substituted and the same fact happened.\nOne fourth and then the Last of the veterans was substituted.\nSo the scientists were now with a group of 5 monkeys that without ever having taken a cold bath, continued to beat the one that tried to go to the bananas.\nIf it was possible to ask to the monkeys why they beaten the one that tried to get up the stairs, the answer would probably be: "I don't know. Things were always like this around here..."\nSo sometimes we should ask ourselves why we do some things without thinking!\n\n" It is easier to disintegrate an atom than a prejudice!"\n(Albert Einstein)
