Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).

Some examples of vegetables that have been selectively grown through breeding to enhance certain desirable traits include carrots (for color and size), tomatoes (for flavor and disease resistance), and sweet corn (for sweetness and tenderness). These selective breeding efforts have resulted in a wide variety of vegetables available in the market today.
* Midget/patio/dwarf tomatoes * Cherry tomatoes * Comact or determinant tomatoes-which include varieties of the above 2 categories * Indeterminant tomatoes * Beefsteak tomatoes * Paste tomatoes * Colorful tomatoes-orange/yellow/striped
cherry tomatoes are tomatoes that are a little bit sweet
Tomatoes is the correct spelling.
When a farmer grows fruit and veg, some will be good, some will be bad. to ensure they only get good ones, they select the best, with the best features, and only use the seeds from that fruit or veg. this means that the next set of tomatoes, for example, will be the offspring of the really good tomato, and be similar. It is a way for farmers to get only good crops. there are a lot of negatives of doing this though, if you need to know just ask me, otherwise I'll leave it there hope this helps
Yes if it will mean ownership of tomatoes. Example: tomatoes' color
tomatoes
No they do not. Chocolate does, but not tomatoes.
There is no standard collective noun for tomatoes, in which case a noun that suits the situation can be used, for example, 'a box of tomatoes', a basket of tomatoes', 'a row of tomatoes', etc.
