We are using the brassica orleracea flower. This is a picture of the whole flower. You can see the pedals, stem, stamen, and the carpel.  This picture shows all the parts needed for reproduction. This flower in particular has both a stamen and a carpel. 

Here is a view at (2x). This is the stamen. It is a male part of the flower. There is a stalk that's called the filament. This is the base of the flower that is coming up from the stem. The top part of the flower is called the anther. That part of this flower makes and releases sperm cells. This part also makes pollen. 

Here is a view at (2x). Here is a part of a plant that is called the carpel. The carpel has a stalk called the style. There is a sticky tip of the carpel that is called the stigma. This part of the carpel is sticky which means it can get pollen sticking to it. 

This part of the flower has all the parts stripped away except the ovary. The sliced open ovule shows, the ovaries. These ovaries are immature, unfertilized seeds. The ovules are inside of the ovaries. That's what's inside of the ovaries.

My plant got bigger as time went on. Mitosis helps the plant grow bigger by creating two daughter cells, that will increase the number of cells in the plant. The cell replicates its chromosomes and then splits the copied chromosomes. More cells mean more bigger the plant's body gets. All the branches and leaves spread out and get bigger do to more cells. Photosynthesis helps a plant utilizes sunlight as an energy source. This energy source is converted into ATP. Plants make their own food by using the sun's light with carbon dioxide and water with chlorophyll to make oxygen and glucose. Glucose helps with fats, oils, and starch for storage. All this is used to make cellulose for cell walls and proteins for growth. Chlorophyll gives the plant its green color. Cellular respiration helps the plant with oxygen and glucose which acts as energy for the plant. Glycolysis splits the two glucose molecules called pyruvate which expel small amount of ATP. The formed carbon dioxide and e

  Which part (anatomy) or characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to exhibit the most variation (greatest number of different forms)? Which part or characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to show the greatest range of variation (biggest difference between one extreme and its opposite)? Use and include data collected from multiple measurements to support your answer. The characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants that seem to exhibit the most variation is the ratio of length to width size of the leaves on the variety of plants. for example one of the plants the ratio from length to width of the leaf is 1.14 cm, another leaf's ratio of length to width is 1.75 cm, and the last plants' leaf is .93 cm. this shows a great variety and most variation in terms of traits of the plants. the greatest range of size between the ratio of the leaves is .93 cm compared to 1.75 cm. that is a .82 cm difference between ratio of leaf size between the plants
