We are experimenting with brussels sprouts. They come from a cole crop family (Brassica Oleracea). Offspring get there traits because of inheritance which shows potential genotypes. There are many genotypes or traits that a plant can get because of dominate traits. They get their traits through a process called meosis. Chromosomes have their parents traits genetically stored in them that the offspring later could inherit. The offspring will not look exactly like it because they inherit traits from their mom and dad but not all from both. Our plants all look different because overtime the seeds adapted to different environments and cross breeded with different plants through pollination.
