The kind of plant I have been Experimenting with for the past few months is the Cabbage Express Red. The cabbage is very large in width and has large leaves with purple stems. I can tell that the cabbage came from similar looking parents. It is easy to predict what the cabbage’s offspring will look like because the cabbage is not mixing different genes with other organisms. the single parent plant will produce a similar looking offspring. They will do so by passing their genetic information through their seeds. Many types of cabbages all came from the same brassica oleracea family but after years and years of reproduction each cabbage has changed gradually.
