The plant we have been experimenting with is the Brassica Oleracea. Brassica Oleracea has different species, including broccoli, our plant. What makes broccoli different from other forms of the Brassica Oleracea is where the starch is located on the vegetable. We got our seed for our plant from another broccoli plant. The genes from that plant are passed down to the next plant. Genetic information is passed down from generation to generation through gametes, and then are sorted out in the cell during the meiosis process. It is likely that the plant will look like one of the parents, since it is receiving that parent's genes. The Brassica Oleracea has so many different varieties because over time, different traits have been added, which causes different end products.
