The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics, the science of genetics enables plant breeders to predict to varying extents the outcome of genetic manipulation of plants. The techniques and methods employed in breeding are determined based on the genetics of the trait of interest, regarding, for example, the number of genes coding for it and gene action. For example, the size of the segregating population to generate in order to have a chance of observing that unique plant with the desired combination of genes depends on the number of genes involved in the expression of the desired trait.

LATEST CHOZI LA HERI GUIDE
Jalada la Riwaya ya Chozi la Heri ni tokeo la usanii wake , Robert Kambo. Katika upande wa mbele sehemu ya juu, mna rangi ya kijani kibichi iliyokolea. Maana ya rangi hii ni uhai na rutuba. Riwayani yamo maeneo yaliyo na rutuba yanayotoa mazao mengi. Katika eneo la Msitu wa Heri alikoishi Ridhaa kwa miongo mitano, mwanzoni kulikuwa kama jangwa la Kalahari lakini Ridhaa alihakikisha kuwa kijiji hiki kimepata maji ya mabomba hadi eneo zima likatwaa rangi ya chanikiwiti. Miti mingi kama Miambakofi, mivule na miti mingine kapandwa. Maeneo mengine yaliyokuwa
na rutuba ni kama Msitu wa Mamba. Watu waliogura makwao walipohamia hapa walikata miti na kupanda vyakula kama mahindi ambayo yalifanya vizuri mno.
