Fast Plants Reflection

Studying the growth of plants.

​   Not all of our F2 generation looked like how I had predicted them to look because they looked like yellow and green leaves but a non-purple stem. Also towards the end, we stopped nurturing our fast plants like we were supposed to so it ended up looking dry and shriveled up. Also, the parent generation grew faster than the F2 generation. What really hindered our plants was the lack of watering that we should have done at least two to three times a week. Both genetic make-up and environmental influences, for example, height, weight and the color. Also, it might be growing accustomed to the artificial light, then the plant is in a tight space is making them look different from other plants which aren’t in a tight space and are receiving sunlight. The environment in which the organism might be inhabiting and how the way in which they are being treated. During the course of quarter four, I learned that the environment which a plant is inhabiting does have a big impact on the plant, affecting their growth. I acknowledged this first when we first began to nurture our plants to the point that they were green and more seeds were ready to be planted. Also when we stopped nurturing the plants and stop caring for them they began to wilt and went from being healthy green to a desert color and didn’t have little pods growing anymore.
