Solution
Plant breeding is the process by which humans change the characteristics of plants over time to make them better crops and more nourishing food.
In its most simple form, breeding consists of selecting the best plants in a given field, growing them to full seed and then using that seed to grow further generations.
Such selective breeding changes the genetic composition of the plants over time.
