Blog Post #7 - Jacob

Me and the team/ squad are experimenting with a plant call Brassica Oleracea. "Brassica oleracea is the species of plant that includes many common foods as cultivars, including cabbagebroccolicauliflowerkalebrussels sproutscollard greenssavoykohlrabi and Chinese kale. Forming a stout rosette of large leaves in the first year, the leaves being fleshier and thicker than those of other species of Brassica, adaptations to store water and nutrients in its difficult growing environment. In its second year, the stored nutrients are used to produce a flower spike 1 to 2 meters (3–7 ft) tall bearing numerous yellow flowers. Canary Islands where the frost is minimal and plants are thus freed from seasonality." I could predict it's chance of different offspring if I know their parents gene or traits. Kinda, because are plant isn't a flower.
 
How will your plant pass its genetic information on to the next generation? ^ Answer
