Matter of selection- Jacob


  1. Which part (anatomy) or characteristic of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to exhibit the most variation (greatest number of different forms)? Kales, cabbages, and Tronchuda cabbages are widely grown in northwestern and some of the forms.
  2. 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)? The sporting part, has the most variations.
  3. Using the terms that follow, explain why you think there is so much variability in the domestic forms of Brassica oleracea: traits, selective breeding, artificial selection, genes, descent with modification, natural variations, mutations Traits could be: purple or green outer leaves,  Six main vegetables have been derived from this wild stock through selection,  It has been bred into a wide range of cultivars, including cabbage, broccoli, etc., genes are depending on the plants parents genes, descent with modification can be associated with cabbage, mutations can include: Low linolenic acid; Brassica oleracea; fatty acid desaturase 3 (FAD3)
  4. Which part (anatomy) of the Brassica oleracea plants seems to be most consistently the same in all of the examples in our garden, regardless of how extreme the differences between other parts of the same plants may be? Why do think this is so? I haven’t really look at the garden.
  5. What would plant breeders have to do in order to get the body part or characteristic you described above (in your response to question #3) to become much different than it is presently? Traits could be: purple or green outer leaves
