We are experimenting with brassica plants and our own plant are cabbages. There aren't any pictures of our cabbages because the chickens had eaten them. Our cabbage was very green and growing to be very big with huge leaves surrounded by soil. Cabbages were descended by some tall plants because the stems of the plant grew to be as tall as your waist. You can predict that the offspring will not be exactly alike but very similar. They would contain traits of long stems, green leaves, and all formed into a ball of layers upon layers. Through meiosis the DNA will be passed on to the offspring so it will have similar traits. Through many years of offspring the brassica will split off and mix with others to make new brassicas.
This is a picture of the brassicas from before and from now. They changed throughout the years when people picked a chose through the traits that they wanted.
