Default What's the difference?

I've been trying to do as much learning as I can about bananas, but I'm still having some difficulties on some things.
For instance, (and forgive me if these things have been discussed on here already, I've searched but so many threads come up there's too much to read),
Can you tell if a banana is a Dessert or Cooking banana based on the group it belongs to? So, are all AA bananas all Dessert bananas? If so, can someone tell me which are which?
AA -
AAA -
AAB -
ABB -
AAAA -
AAAB -
AB -
AS - Never even seen S before -
AAA-AAB
AAT -didn't know there was a T -
AABB -
ABBB -
ABBT -

And Next, I'm trying to learn the different subgroups of Dessert bananas but maybe someone can help with a few. I see some listed as the same thing but some sites list each as a different group.
Pome - (Latin for Apple) I thought were Apple type or Manzanos but I see Manzano listed as a.....
Silk - which I also see listed as a Variety of....
Pisang Raja - ?

So, what's the deal? Someone Please Explain.
