                                                            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 ...

Our plant grew and got bigger. Mitosis helps the plant grow bigger by creating two daughter cells, this 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 electrons...

Here is a view at (2x) on the microscope. 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.  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.  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.  Here is a view at (2x) on the microscope. 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 ...
