Read Marcus's sunflower account. What does the evidence show? Marcus grows three sunflower plants from seeds from one parent sunflower. Similarities (evidence):
Evidence 1: Parent has yellow petals. All three offspring have yellow petals.
Evidence 2: Parent has a big round flower head. All three offspring have big round flower heads.
Evidence 3: Parent has rough, wide leaves. All three offspring have rough, wide leaves.
Evidence 4: Parent grows a tall stem and makes seeds. All three offspring grow tall stems and make seeds. Differences (evidence):
Evidence 1: Height varies: parent 60 in; Plant 1 55 in; Plant 2 70 in; Plant 3 60 in.
Evidence 2: Flower head size varies: parent 10 in; Plant 1 9 in; Plant 2 12 in; Plant 3 10 in.
Evidence 3: Leaf number varies: parent 20 leaves; Plant 1 18; Plant 2 24; Plant 3 20.
Evidence 4: Bloom time varies: parent day 60; Plant 1 day 58; Plant 2 day 65; Plant 3 day 60. Combined analysis: Offspring are like the parent sunflower in key traits, but not exactly like it in size and timing.
Conclusion: Offspring inherit traits and also show variation.
