A type of Brassica Oleracea carrying the phenotype for purple leaves.
4-2 Collards
The 4-2 group has been experimenting with Brassica Oleracea L or collards. By looking at the collard's leaves we can tell that one of the parents carried the phenotype for the color green. Since the plant show the dominant gene for color its off-spring will most likely share the same phenotype. This trait will be passed down through meiosis; these sex cells are complete when the cell divided one more time to produce the four daughter cells. Our plants off-spring will vary due to the genotype of its partner. Thankfully due to genetics our collards off-spring will be even more beautiful then its parents because it will inherit genotypes from both of its parents. My classmates and I share different but fundamentally similar plants because they all have bread with numerous other types of plants. However, they are are still considered Brassica Oleracea because they still carry their species dominant gene for leaves. Our plants have varied from their ancestors because they have produced gametes from varies different types of collards.
