We are experimenting with some small brussels sprouts. This plant has thick leafs and is on the shorter side. The offspring will appear exactly the same but some small differences like how many leafs there are. The off spring would get its traits from its parents seeds. The seeds begin meiosis when they are planted in the ground. They divide and grow and brassica pass their genetics through their seeds. The offsprings would not look the same because the have a combination of both parents genetics ant the environment can can be different too. The offspring have their own genetics. If we were to grow the plants next to each other for many generations they'd eventually mix. I feel they look so differently because they may have been grown in different spots or environments so they'd have different traits to the others.
