Genetics has very important role in agricultural improvement because its the basic science behind plant breeding. Without genetics and plant breeding we cant develop new hybrids and varieties of plants and animals. e.g genetics has made it possible to produce cattle breeds that can withstand extreme environmental conditions – some cattle can survive extreme heat or cold. It has also made it possible to produce disease resistant plant species.
