The correct answer is by crossing the plants, which exhibit very distinct features.

Plant breeding refers to the branch of manipulating the traits of plants in order to generate desired features. It has been utilized to better the quality of nutrition in the products of animals and humans.

Plant breeding can be achieved via various distinct procedures ranging from basically choosing plants with wanted features for propagation, to the procedures that make application of knowledge of chromosomes and genetics, to more composite molecular procedures.
