Fast Plants Final Reflection

The F2 generation did not look like how we predicted. They did not grow at all and it’s most likely because we stopped caring for them after a while. The results ended up being dry. The parent generation most definitely grew faster than the F2 generation and you can see that in the pictures below (the first picture is of the parent plants). One of the reasons our plants didn’t grow as faster or better is because we didn’t water them plenty. Genetics and environment affect the phenotype of an organism because our plants were grown indoor and are not like other plants since they grown outside and have natural sunlight. The organism would look like the mother and father, that would be a great indicator of how the organism should look. What stood out to me during this course is that the parent plants grew really fast and how the environment plays a big role in the growth of the plant.
