Let’s explore plant breeding.
Meiosis and Alternation Biology Discussion:
– Describe the features that meiosis and mitosis have in common and how they differ (set this response up as a table to compare and contrast).
Genetics and Molecular Biology Discussion:
– Explain the significance of Mendel’s experiments with peas.
– Show how genes may interact with each other to influence phenotype.
– Explain how genotype influences phenotype.
– Describe the phenotype and any unique genotype of your plant of choice
Plant Breeding Discussion:
– Describe phenotypic changes that occurred in plant populations as a result of human selection, give one plant breed example. Include two (2) pictures of plant breeding techniques.
– Research your plant of choice to learn about any breeding programs and learn if your plant of choice has been altered over the years through breeding programs. If NO breading programs can be found, please research natural selection in plants.
