Maria Gillis Assignment #7: One of a Kind: The Wonders of Biology

     For this project my team and I have been working with kale. This is a specific kind of Brassica Olercea. Kale is able to store lots of nutrients and water better than other types of Brassica Olercea.
     Since our kale is a drak green, i can ussume that its parents wer also this color green. Using a Punnett Square could predict the traits our plants offspring would produce, but in order to do that i would need to know the alleles my plant has. Meiosis creates genetic diversity, and the offspring would get the same traits through the process of meiosis. The plant's offspring would have some of my plants traits along with the other plant that is involved with the reproduction. All of the Brassica Olercea look different becasue many other plants were involved with the reproduction .
