Answer 1

2 examples of plant features that humans have selected for that would make the plant's natural survival nearly impossible are:

Sweetness( Taste) -Apples for example,nowadays are increasingly grown in monoculture and they have become much more prone to attack by insects,bacteria and viruses.Apple plants are very much dependent on pesticide application by apple growers for their growth and survival.These apples grown by monoculture are in demand for their great taste as they are sweet in taste.
Beauty -In order to satisfy our visual apatite,tulip has come a long way which are otherwise useless.The tulip plants are genetically engineered so as to produce beautiful vibrant flowers lacking any fragrance.
