Fast Plants Final Reflection

• Biotic factors: other plants, bacteria, plants themselves

This is categorized like this because bacteria and plants are living organisms. The bacteria in the air could affect how our plants grow. Our peers’ plants could interfere with our plants because they could rub against each other. Our plants could rub against each other which could take off some leaves or flowers. Abiotic factors: artificial “sunlight”, temperature, soil, air we categorized the abiotic factors in this way because we are using are artificial “sunlight” to help our plants grow. It could be possible that the light could blow out. The temperature could change depending on the light or the room. The room could be hot or cold if the windows are open. The soil is a factor because we don’t know what’s included in the soil. Lastly the air, because it may be certain particles throughout the air that could affect the plants. We predicted that the F1 and F2 plants are going to be the phenotypes and genotypes for our baby plants. Since both of are parents were yellow green leaf, homozygous and heterozygous, their kids were more than likely going to produce yellow green leaf babies as well. This cycle continued on since we didn’t have a variation of the parents. One thing that could have effected our plant process was lack of light, because a lot of people in my class plants were dying because they did not have enough light to grow so they were drying out.
