Fast Plant Reflection
The plants ended up being very different than our predictions. They didn't show much color but had grown and died faster than the F1 plants did. The one on the top is F1 and the one on the bottom is F2. Obviously F1 was able to thrive more than the F2 plants. I think the fact that we sometimes forgot about our plants that it lessened their ability to thrive where they were at. The genetics of the F1 plants is what gave the F2 plants their phenotype. The biggest indicator of how the plants were going to look at was to just remember how the F1 plants were crossbred and hope that we had completed the process correctly. The one thing that stood out to me throughout this whole process was how it was important to know how everything that's happening. Of course you have to know all of the steps, but I was shocked at how important it was to keep track of everything that had to be done and recorder every time we had the chance.

Did the F2 generation look like how you predicted them to look? It didn’t come out how I predicted they would’ve looked because they never grew.
Did the parent generation or the F2 generation grow faster? Yes the parent generation grew faster.
What might have hindered your plants' ability to thrive? I think the environment with them being so close to other plants may have hindered their growth.
How do genetics and the environment affect the phenotype of an organism? Genetics affect your base phenotype(default look) and the environment affects what it may look like based on what happens.
Which is a greater indicator of how an organism will look? I think in some cases genetics if the conditions are the same but if a mishap were to occur then the environment is most likely at fault.
A summary of what stood out to you during this course and why.
Over the course of this project we grew plants. We checked out the phenotype and genotype of each plant to see how well those plants would grow. I think overall I enjoyed seeing the growth of other group’s plants. I think this was outstanding how their plants were able to thrive and ours weren’t. With this happening it brought up questions such as “Why did this happen?” or “What are they doing differently”.

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.

When getting ready to conduct the second fast plant experiment I expected the offspring's to take after the parent with the dominant genes but the plants never made it so I was never able to see through to this assumption. When I first took the seeds there were 3 seeds with mini buds and I was surprised because I couldn't wrap my head around their growth due to them not being put in a proper environment yet, as well as not having their needs met (Sunlight/Water). From this if the growth of the F2 generation were successful I would say they would have had a quicker growth then their parents. Through this quick summary and the photo one can quickly realize the F2 generation plants did not make it and this maybe because heat and not enough water. When watering your plants you should look out for hot temperatures and you should do this because it evaporates the water which prevents your plant from taking in the water, which leads to your plant dying from thirst. When looking at growth it's not only you parents that affect your appearance, it's also the environment and this can be due to climate, diet, etc. The greater impact the environment has on your genes, the more suitable the environment, so for example civilians of Africa one thing we notice is their dark skin and this is due to the environment. Their dark skin helps protect them from taking any real damage from the suns strong UV Rays. With all that said something that stood out to me was how plants can not only go through photosynthesis but also cellular respiration. This stands out to me because the plants can create their own energy instead of taking it in from the sun.

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.

I predicted that the F2 generation would look exactly like that is F1 generation. My prediction was wrong. There was slight differences between the to generation and the F1 generation. Personally I think that the F2 generation grew faster than the F1 generations. We got quicker results.The space of the plants were very small and when plants grow people usually transfer them into a different area to grow more and have more space. Also we were using a light to help them grow instead of sunlight so that can have a small effect on it.Depending on the environment the organism can get any mutation so that they can be Edison adapted to other environments for survival. Using a inheritance box to see what are the likelihood of the organism getting specific genes.Something that really stood out to me was that everything connects to matter what. Everything is always affected by something which causes like a domino effect for example prey and predator relationships.

Fast Plants Final Reflection
The F2 generation did not look how I expected them to look. The parent generation grew a lot faster. I think what hindered our plants ability to survive was that we mixed up our seeds and it was the cross pollination part was difficult. The genetics will affect the phenotype of the plant depending on what the parent generation was. A greater indicator of how an organism will look is if you make a punnett square which will help you predict the outcome of a particular breeding experiment. This course what stood out to me the most was our last benchmark for quarter 4. I really enjoyed it a lot. I also liked learning about the different ecosystems and biomes, and how we are affecting them.

The reason I chose to make the camera book cover light up was because that is the book cover from my first song book that I got as a gift from my parents before went across the country for 3 months. This means a lot to me because this book sparked my passion for song writing and I still write in that book to this day.
