A drawing of three wheat plants of different sizes, each with a stylized chromosome above it. The smallest wheat plant has one copy of a given gene; the middle plant has two copies of that gene; and the largest plant has three copies, which are represented by the clearer bands. The illustration was created by Milena Trabert with input from Freja Lindstedt.
