If all individuals in a species (peas) are not exactly clones of each other but have small variations in the genes (traits), some will do better when the environment changes (drought). These traits will be "favored" over other traits. More individuals will be found with the trait. A new variety of peas will be found.

Can hostas be split to create new plants?
Yes, hostas can be split to create new plants.
A process used by flower growers to breed new varieties of flowers?
hybridization is the process of combining different varieties or species of organisms to create a new species
What has the author J Ericson written?

How do you arrange indoor plants with more than 2-3 plant varieties?
Group plants with similar lighting and watering needs together. Vary the height of the plants to create visual interest and avoid overcrowding. Consider using shelves, plant stands, or hanging planters to maximize space and create a dynamic display.
How are cross pollinated squash varieties developed to enhance their characteristics and traits?
Cross-pollinated squash varieties are developed by intentionally breeding different types of squash plants to create new hybrids with desired characteristics and traits. This process involves carefully selecting parent plants with specific traits, such as disease resistance or improved flavor, and then allowing them to cross-pollinate naturally or through controlled pollination methods. The resulting hybrid squash plants inherit a combination of traits from both parent plants, leading to enhanced characteristics in the new variety.
Why is crossbreeding plants an example of biotechnology?
Crossbreeding plants involves manipulating the genetic makeup of plants to create new varieties with desired traits. This process falls under biotechnology because it uses biological systems and organisms to modify living organisms for specific purposes, such as improving crop yield or resistance to pests and diseases.
When did Girl Scouts create the peanut butter patties?
Girl Scouts did not create the Peanut Butter Patties. The licensed companies which bake Girl Scout cookies are the ones who suggest new varieties of cookies to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). GSUSA has the final approval of any new cookie varieties.
How can plants be inherited?
Plants can be inherited through seeds, which carry genetic information from the parent plants to the offspring. This genetic information determines the traits of the plant, such as its size, color, and growth patterns. By breeding specific plants with desired traits, plant breeders can create new varieties that are passed down through inheritance.
Can you divide hostas to propagate them and create new plants?
Yes, hostas can be divided to propagate them and create new plants. This process involves separating the plant into smaller sections, each with roots and shoots, and replanting them in new locations.
Will plants only reproduce with members of the same species?
Plants can reproduce with other plants of the same species, but some plants can also reproduce with different species through cross-pollination. This can lead to hybridization and the creation of new plant varieties.
Are all new varieties of plants developed released to producers?
Not all new varieties of plants developed are released to producers. Some may be kept proprietary by research institutions or companies for commercial reasons, while others might not meet regulatory or market standards. Additionally, certain varieties could be retained for further research or breeding purposes. Ultimately, the decision to release a new variety depends on factors like market demand, regulatory approval, and the goals of the developing organization.
Are strawberries new world or old world?
The plants is native to both worlds, but the modern cultivated varieties were developed (bread) from New world stock, perversely in the Old world.
