Which consequence arises when Teosinte undergoes prolonged artificial selection?

💡 Explanation

Domestication of Teosinte to maize involved artificial selection, favoring larger cobs and kernels but reducing Teosinte's structural shattering resistance of its seed heads. This Genetic Bottleneck reduces genetic diversity, therefore, creating weaker stem structures prone to lodging, rather than boosting insect resistance.
