The stigma can split in two at the end of it.                              

1.)  a.)  Which part (anatomy) or characteristic of the  Brassica oleracea  plants seems to exhibit the most variation (greatest number of different forms)?           When I was looking around at period 4 plants. The main thing that really popped out at me was the sizes of all the different plants. Their was some plants that were 27 inches tall and others that were just 5 inches.

On the tall ones their were only a handful of leaves on their, and they are all spread out. Then the plants that were the average height had a lot of leaves but they were not all compacted like the small ones. They were open and sticking out. b.)  Which part or characteristic of the  Brassica oleracea  plants seems to show the greatest  range  of variation (biggest difference between one extreme and its oppos

Our plant is getting bigger by the process of photosynthesis which is adding biomass to our plant. In the process of photosynthesis
