A Matter of Selection

             Each plants have many different traits to make them look like the way they do. A lot of people use selective breeding to get the plant they want to grow and or eat. Artificial selection also helps us make the perfect plant, for example, broccoli comes from a flowering head of a cabbage. That wasn't artificial selection, it was natural variation. Scientists combine plant genes to create different kind of plants, some plants can have natural differences. Also, many plants do descent with modification, they pass down their traits to their offspring. Plants also have mutations, they can have a defect in their genes and become a different color, have a different size, and be a different texture.
