One of a Kind

Ancestral Brassica Oleracea

    We are currently experimenting with Romanesco. Our broccoli is definitely starting to take its shape. If i could say anything about our plants parents, it would be that they start out pretty small and leafy. We could decide what our plant would have by seeing its chromosome, if we had the tool for it. They would get these traits by probability or the dominance that the mother or father had. The plant will pass its genetic information to the next plant generation by the dominance or recessive trait that it has. They will most likely look like their parents. 

    All the broccoli plants look different because they all have different traits that were given to them from their parents. The Brassica must have mated with all different kind of plants to make so many different species.
