2. Divide the 200 seeds equally among the four petri dishes.
3. Place the tobacco seeds on filter paper and fill the each petri dish with one milliliter of water.
4. Place one petri dish under a fluorescent light, one in the sunlight, one in a dark room, and one in a lab table drawer.
5. Record the growth of the seeds.]]> 2017-04-21 13:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/ndn4zkkjpz1n/wish/167476804 aasophiapellicci https://padlet.com/rford9/ndn4zkkjpz1n/wish/167478541 -4 petri dishes

From the data we collected in our experiment we can conclude that this is true, however it is not only the light intensity that effects the phenotype. 2 out of our 4 petri dishes were put into a drawer with no light and 1 into a dark room which received light periodically. Out of the 50 seeds in the drawer 21 grew to be white while the rest didnt grow at all. In the dark room there was one white little sprout. With a logical inference you would infer that the drawer wouldnt grow but it was the other way around. This proves that light intensity definitely plays a role but water does as well. The other 2 petri dishes were placed in florescent light and by the window which was the control. The dish under the light had to be given more water (about 2mL) throughout the experiment so it would grow because without it, the light would take it up. So in conclusion the environmental factors influence the phenotype by having the light intensity determine how much water a plant needs. ]]> 2017-05-05 12:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/ndn4zkkjpz1n/wish/170158740
