WHY NATURE Is Perfect?

what I will obtain if I cross two different plants that produces similar fruits,these are: Citrus sinensis var. salustiana (Purebred) and Citrus reticulata X Citrus grandi(Hybrid)?

DATA

GENETICS

• the scientific study about the ways characteristics of living things or genetic conditions are passed from one generation to the next. The basic units of heredity are genes.

Inheritance

• Inheritance: The transmission of a gene from parent to child. The pattern of inheritance is the manner in which a gene is transmitted. For example, the pattern of inheritance may be as an autosomal dominant trait that is transmitted from father or mother to son or daughter.

BYOTECHNOLOGY

• is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2).

GENETIC Engineering

• also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO).

GRAFTING

• Grafting is an advanced technique that botanists, farmers, gardeners, and hobbyists use to add living tissue from one plant to another.

WHY GRAFTING IS Important?

• Plant propagation.
• Producing Composite Plants Having Special Characteristics
• Conversion of Adult Trees to Desirable Types.
• Producing Botanical Curiosities.
• Artistic Enhancement.
• Repairing Damaged Trees.
• Indexing for Virus Diseases.

analysING the important facts that I will need to check when the experiment is completed.

MY HYPOTHESIS

MY EXPERIMENT:

MATERIALS:

• Two plants of the same genus but different specie.example: Citrus sinensis var. salustiana and Citrus reticulata X Citrus grandi. *Scalpel *Insulating or adhesive tape. *Fertilizer. *Flowerpot *Scoop

STEPS OF OUR EXPERIMENT

strew one of the plants in the flowerpot with the fertilizer and the scoop.

2.in the centre of the branch that we will graft,called The scion,with the scalpel cut and give it a shape of spine;next make a horizontal opening in the trunk,also called The rootstock.

3.insert the spine-shaped branch inside the trunk as if it were a puzzle.

4.with a ribbon or fabric sealed the union between the trunk and the branch until a firm trunk is formed in that space.
