A Matter of Selection

Looking at the garden  there's a lot difference is the heads' of the  plants and the roots. Some of the plants have long stems with little to no leaves, some have tall stems with several leaves. There were several other plants with vain like stems with little flower's other plants looked like they were growing cabbages and some looked like the cabbages had sprouted.
2 The reason  that there is so much variation  in the plants traits is probably because when farmers started growing the plants they breded the seed with others that had useful traits. It also could have been from the area that the plant was grown.
3 There was not much similarity all the plants were different from the others the main similarity between the plants was the color.
4 Since  there was not much similarity's in order for the plant breeders to get a new genotype and phenotype they would have to combine the genes of two selected plants. Or take the pollen from one plant and put it in another  fertilize it and produce a fertile seed.

  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...

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...
