A team of scientists is studying several plant species that they think could become new farm crops. The scientists want to apply selective breeding to develop one of the species into useful crop plants. Which property of a plant species would be MOST USEFUL for meeting the scientists’ goal?

The high yielding property of a plant species would be most useful for meeting the scientists’ goal.

Explanation:

In selective breeding, we develop a new variety by crossing a wild specie with the domestic growing variety in order to achieve the characteristic which is present only in wild specie. So with the help of selective breeding, this characteristics is transferred to the offspring. The main goal of scientist is to produce such variety which produces maximum yield and also good quality seeds.

on island x the species needed to adapt because they were being subject to predators which didn't inhabit island y.
