Plants of the same species are different. The difference between organisms of the same species is called variation. There are two types of variation: continuous and discontinuous. Variation is either inherited or caused by the environment. Man is interested in variation and seeks to manipulate it to produce good quality crops and livestock.  Selection is the process of eliminating individuals with undesirable characteristics.  Selection can be natural or artificial.
