A tomato farmer observes that one of his plants produces fruits with an attractive deep red colour which he wants to preserve. He therefore selects the seeds from this fruit for his next crop.

Describe an approach, other than selecting seeds, that the farmer could have adopted for introducing new traits in his tomato crop, and explain how this process differs from the process occurring in nature.
