Friday: Young plant, parent plant

Rocket sets a sprout by a big bean plant.

"It is a tiny copy!" he says.

Raven asks, "Is it exactly the same?"

Nova says, "Find what matches."

Very much like the parent

A young bean plant has leaves like its parent.

Its true leaves have the same shape.

But it is smaller than its parent.

It is very much like its parent, but not exactly.

Sometimes more different

Some seeds grow plants that look different from the parent.

Their flowers or fruit may not match the parent.

Seeds from bean plants usually grow beans like the parent.

Baby animals look like their parents too, but not exactly!
