The 7th grade has begun an investigation modeling Mendel's pea plant experiments. They are growing heterozygous plants with the scientific name Brassica rapa. These plants are being followed through their life cycle, documenting growth, flowering, pollination and seed development. Then the next generation of seeds will be planted and followed to determine the frequency of the traits being studied. In this instance the traits are Non-Purple stem vs. Purple stem and Hairy stems vs. Hairless stems.
When we are not taking measurements and observations for this lab we will be continuing our study of cell division by looking at the discovery of DNA as well as the structure of this molecule.
