Answers

The common growth regulator used in fruits like banana is ethylene.
Factors that trigger production of ethylene in fruits
-Natural process such as maturation and weather
-Injury-Injured fruits ripen or go bad quickly than injury free ones.
-Attack by insects and birds- fruits eaten by birds ripen faster.
Disadvantages of Ethylene ripened bananas
Normally, bananas ripened by application of external ethylene lack that characteristic flavour and aroma of naturally ripened fruit. But they are in no way inferior in terms of nutrients.
