Question

A farmer who grows green beans lives in a area that experiences a lot of drought. Explain how he could use selective breeding to improve the chances of his bean plants surviving the droughts​

Answer 1

The farmer could choose plants that lose less water, or store water more efficiently. He could then breed these plants together and repeat this process with the daughter plants, and their daughter plants, and so on.

This would make more plants with the chosen plants’ “good genes”, and therefore making more plants that can withstand drought.
