Fast Plants Reflection

This fast plants project did not go how I expected it to go. The F2 generation did not look like how I thought they would because our plants didn't even grow to see if my prediction was right. The parent generation grew faster because they actually grew. I think our plants didn't grow because we kinda forgot to water the plants everyday and obviously plants need water to grow so yeah. Genetics and the environment affect the phenotype of an organism because it determines how the organism will look like when it gets older and how it will live. I think genetics is a greater indicator of how an organism will look because the genetics will stay with that organism forever while an environment could change and not have as big of an affect as genetics on the organism. Something that stood out to me during this course was that it takes a lot more work to take care of plants than I thought. You go just a couple of days without caring for your plant and everything can go wrong like it did here. Remember kids, water your plants.
