The rate of crossover required for the banana gene to follow that mode of inheritance is another good point.

    Just out of curiosity do you know the underlying principles behind the inheritance patterns of the banana gene?
    When I mention the switch I mean what you describe, in your example females could be ww also in theory. But it is a highly unlikely scenario was my point. Also no one is stupid here, just having a discussion, and don't think any of us know what's going on exactly. it an anomaly that I have yet to have anyone explain it in a way without holes in the theory.
