Blog Post #8 TSOTS

While the flowers of the plants didn't show many differences, the leaves showed much variation. Some were darker than others, some had different shapes, some were bigger/smaller than others, etc. The first plant we checked had leaves that measured 16cm x 14cm. The second one we checked measured 14cm x 8cm. The third we checked measured 26cm x 26cm. Nowadays, people can choose what plants to breed in order to get what they desire in a Brassica. This is called artificial selection.  For a breeder guarantee that they get the trait that they want in a plant, they must breed plants that already have this trait. This creates a purebred, guaranteeing they get their trait. The plants themselves, however, may have mutated  over time, altering their traits and genes.

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...

  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...
