Default Store-Bought Banana Seed Germination

I read that seeds from store-bought bananas can't germinate. Is this true? Is there a 0% chance of germination?

I deseeded an entire banana from my local market, really tiny seeds. I stuck them to a paper towel to dry out. They've been dry for about a week.

Is it that the plants are sterile or what? Just confused why the seeds won't germinate, if they won't. If they will, what conditions should I germinate them in? I have a germination chamber for some other plants that stays around 85F during the day and 60F at night, it's under constant light.
