 The plants flowers didn't show that much variation. They mostly look the same. The plant's leaves have a lot of variation. Most of the leaves on the plants are different sizes and the outline is sometimes different. Plant 1 has a leaf height of 16 cm and width of 14 cm the stem size is 30 cm. Plant 2 has a leaf height of 14 cm and a width of 8 cm, the stem size is 14 cm. Plant 3 has a leaf height of 26 cm and a width of 26 cm, the stem size was 32 cm. Mostly now these days, people do selective breeding which is when people select certain types of genes for plants like brassica oleracea to make them better. Artificial selection is when people select certain phenotypes. Some mutations could contribute to the plants looks and genotypes. This could help with the plants traits and genes. Descent with modification would be the most likely reason for the plants looks because it is the natural way an organism reproduces. There is a lot of natural variation in these plants. The stem and flower look like they have most variation than any other part because the stem grows in different sizes and lengths. The flower is always the same, it has 4 pedals that are yellow. ????? why they don't look same???? In order to change plant traits, the plant breeders need to change the plant's traits so the plant can have desired characteristics. To get the desired trait, plant breeders have to have two of the same plants that have the desired traits and breed them to make a purebred plant. This is one of the many ways plant breeders can breed and give plants the desired traits.

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
