Wonders Of Biodiversity With Collard Plants

The story of the seed group 4-2 has been experimenting with collard plants, learning about genetics. We learned that we can use the punnett square to trace back our collard's parents, and determine its characteristics, because they inherit the genetics from the parents. So they look alike. Our collard plants have thin stems and big long leafy leaves. We could also use the punnett square to most likely or specifically know what the offspring would inherit. In order to create the offspring the collard plants would go through meiosis, also known as the division of cells, to create gamete cells(or sex cells). Which then go through fermentation to produce the offspring. Son our collard plants will be doing the same things as the parents, creating more collard plants for generations to come.
