Our Brassica Oleracea: Cabbage Brassica Oleracea
The plant we have been growing is cabbage, a form of Brassica Oleracea. You can venture to guess how the parent cell will look because it looks similar to pictures of other cabbage plants that i have seen. Other types of cabbages have big, thick leaves with purple stems, our plant also looks similar. The offsprings would be cabbage or some similar plant. They would get their traits from their parent plants through meiosis. The offsprings would probably look very similar to their parent plants, with big green leaves and purple stems. Even though everyone in our class grew some type of Brassica Oleracea, they all look different because we all have different species. There are so many different forms (polymorphisms) that come from one ancestral species because they blend with different species and made new offsprings.
