Assignment #7

     Our plant, more specificly the Brassica Oleracea also known as kohlrabi, had  a purple cabbage like structure. The offspring of the plant would probably have many dominate traits to their parents. The parent traits were inherited by the offspring through genes passed down from each of its' parents. Continuing on through a life time of it genealogical chart. The offspring will not look identical to the parent plant, due to the fact that genetic crossover occuring in meiosis. Also, the fact that it only inherits half of its DNA from each parent. Even though the plants planted in the garden are the same species, our vegetable produces  different things because of slight variation of genes turning on and off in diffrent conditions. There would one need to have a specific breeding or  two adapt to their individual environment.
