What is your source of this information? There is tons of genetic tests that have been done on these bananas, and I have never seen a reference for what you are talking about. I'm not saying you are wrong, but please do show exactly where you got this information from. Be careful with information like that because many people read this forum and information spreads quickly, even if its wrong.
