My group is experimenting with a broccoli plant. Our plant is quite big and green. It has already sprouted some flowers. I predict that our plant's offsprings will have some of the traits but not all of them. This will happen by looking at what traits have dominant and/or recessive alleles. The offspring will have traits from both parents. They will get these traits by going through meiosis as a gamete. During meiosis a gamete gets 23 chromosomes from each parent. half from the mother and the other half from the father. Our plant will pass its genetic information on to the next generation via meiosis. our plants offspring will not look like our plant because in the process of meiosis identical cells are not produced. The plant that we are growing looks different from the other plants that our classmates are growing because they got different traits. this happened because of dominant and recessive alleles. So many different forms of the species that our plant is from were created because of the different breeding throughout time. They may look different but they are all still family and come from the same ancestors.
