In this case, that is incorrect. Teosinte the progenitor of corn is in a completely different genus from rice. Corn is closer to sorghum in relationship then rice
@momentomalum1037 ok I see those in a pet store but a book I read in the 80's said certain gains evolved from each other I returned book to the library years ago so I don't have the information now.
@@esmeraldapooner751 Yes, it is hard to get really good information in books these days. If I did not have access to the scientific literature, I probably would have thought the same thing. I learned that there actually only 5 mutations that separate modern corn from teosinte, pretty neat huh.
I heard rice is the cousin of corn brought down from Asia, then the Aztec s accidentally made corn.
