Which outcome followed the selective breeding of teosinte into early maize?

💡 Explanation

Kernel row number on the cob became more variable because artificial selection pressure favored larger, more productive ears due to higher yields, therefore increasing trait variance, rather than naturally increasing uniformity for stress tolerance, or other traits.
