1) The Plant parts that had the biggest variation are the leaves because the amount of the leaves and sizes and shapes on mine and other plants in the garden vary in color and other differences. Some have large veins while also having bigger leaves. Other variation that is included is the height of the plant, suggesting that they have adapted to their environment of low amounts of shade by lower to the ground.

2) The amount of variation of the plants because of the genes. The plants use selective breeding to give the plants children the best possible chance of survival. this allows future generation to have an advantage over their rivals. The decent with modification helps the plant survive more harsh conditions.

3) The Part that seems to be the most comon is the stalks, that never change. these are on all of the six known cultivated species of the classical U-triangle, the wild relatives of Brassica oleracea and the genus Brassica as a whole, to its most related genera. The six Brassica species of the U-triangle are usually referred to as crop brassicas, a fortunate denomination because Brassica species outside this group have a limited agricultural importance.

4) Plant Breeders must find the plants with the thickest stalks and breed them to get bigger stalks. This allows it to have more nutrients to flow through the stalk, making the plant much better as a whole. This in return makes the food be better and more nutritious.
