Scientists working to improve human nutrition used selective breeding to increase the yield of tomato plants. In selective breeding, breeders only keep plants with the best characteristics for the trait they want. Soon they only have plants with "good" genes.

When using selection with self-pollinating plants it takes only a few years to find the best combinations of good genes. If the "good" genes are recessive, they can often be quickly identified.

Another group of scientists added a new gene to tomato plants so that it was able to produce a chemical which killed off the insects that damage it. Normal tomato plants cannot produce this chemical.

c) Discuss why selective breeding cannot be used to make tomato plants that produce this chemical.
