A fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant

Where do cultivated & seedless fruits come in at
example bananas in the wild have seeds in them while most bananas sold are cultivated and dont have seeds

Are they still a fruit as well as other fruits that dont have seeds because of cultivation or genect modification.

The defintion of fruits having seeds would exclude those right ?

Still a fruit; no seeds due to genetic modification.

No, that does not exclude these. The Cavendish bananas sold commercially have undeveloped seeds, as do the so-called seedless watermelons. Those are the small dark specks near the center of the banana. There are very few bananas in the wild, unfortunately, which is leading to a rapid loss of genetic diversity. Many species of them have gone extinct in the last few decades.

That is NOT the correct definition to start with. A fruit is a ripened ovary, period. Seeds come from ovules within the ovary. Whether a fruit has seeds or not does not change the fact that it is a fruit. Please be aware there is a lot of misinformation out there on the internet.

That is an excellent question.

They would be considered a "cultivar" of the parent variety and identified as such. So you might have a "Big Yellow" banana, cultivar an the cultivar would have something "different" ... in your example no seeds. It would remain a banana cultivar.

It is good to be curious and ask these questions.

BTW "Sandstorms_brother" has no clue what the hell he's talking about.
