Over many months of observing and monitoring the growth of our Brassica oleracea plant, there are many things that have become known. However, Brassica oleracea has not stayed the same for all of its existence on earth. It has changed, adapted, and gone through a process called natural selection in order to form new variations of the same species. The part of the plant that I decided to observe were the leaves of the plant. I noticed that the leaves in the various plants had a range in width from 1.5 cm to 16 cm. I also noticed that the leaves in the plants had a range in length from 6 cm to 24 cm. These two facts prove that compared to other parts of the plant, the leaves have the greatest variation and depend mostly on what type of Brassica oleracea plant it is. I think that there is so much variation in Brassica oleracea because over time, as the plants have been planted in various locations, they have needed to adapt to their new environments, an...
Blogpost 7 Our cabbage plant belongs to a family called Brassica oleracea and there is a variety of plants that belong in this group. We decided to take a closer look at the fertilization of these flowering plants. A few weeks ago my group an I decided to do a flower dissection where you found the parts of a flower, that are important in the process of fertilization. Fertilization is the process of fertilizing an egg or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. However plants go through angiosperm fertilization since a plant is has both female and male reproductive parts. The anthers of a plant produce pollen which carries sperm. This happens through meiosis and then four haploid spore cells are formed. Then these cells go through mitosis. They then become pollen grains. This pollen grains must land on the stigma of a flower which Is the female reproductive part of a flower. The stigma has a sticky surfa...
