Detailed explanation-1: -The farmers saved kernels from plants with desirable characteristics and planted them for the next season’s harvest. This process is known as selective breeding or artificial selection. Maize cobs became larger over time, with more rows of kernels, eventually taking on the form of modern maize.
Detailed explanation-2: -And the most noticeable difference, of course, is that while we think of corn as having these large ears alongside the main stem, teosinte doesn’t have that. Teosinte will have, instead of one or two ears, will have hundreds of ears along the plant, along the branches of the plant. And the ears are very, very tiny.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the gathered evidence, the DNA of the teosinte and corns are remarkably similar. In this case, scientists claim that these two plants are closely related despite their differences in appearance.
