The Final Blog Post 



1)The part of plants that has the biggest variation are the leaves because many of them come in different sizes like some of my plants that looked like an oval and have green veins.Some thing else that has a lot of variation is the stem.Some stems have green stems but others have a different colors like purple. Finally one last thing that is different for each plant is the height some plants are higher than others unlike mine that's small.

2)The variability in brassia plants is a lot because of genes and traits.The brassia plant only uses selective mating to give there kids to give them different traits to see who has an advantage which is smart for the plants to do that changes the plants genes.That the effect of descent mortification happens and the new plant passes down its genes.In the beginning tho it was only natural variation.Sometimes tho they do not need to breed to have a change in genes Sometimes there are mutations in some plants that get exposed to something which can change the plant's genes to give it an advantage or disadvantage, but in the end once the plant passes on its genes it will pass on the mutation it got to it's children which will end with more variations of brassica .

3)The most consistent part of a plant is the stem because a stem of one plant differs from another because one might be thicker than the other and it might also be a different color .This is called descent modification and how the parent plants gave of the same traits and in my plant there is not any mutation that messed up the phenotype 





4)What I believe plant breeders have to do is use artificial selection to get the stem to get affected and change its traits.I think the mutation would be hard because if you make a single mistake it can cause the stem to change its color and artificial selection is probably easier cause you can just pair up to plants of the same species and wait until the phenotype changes and that will give you the same type of plant/or same species as you started off as.

Hi my name is Jairo Garcia. I have lived in San Jose Califonia my whole life. I have only garden one time and it was when my uncle wanted me to learn how to grow stuff so that when i was older i could do it on my own. What i remember  about that  experience is that i am not good at taking care of plants. My grandfather knows a lot about gardening because he grows his own plants and never goes to the store to buy food. He is very good at growing food he is always patient about them and always remembers to water his plants.
