the correct answer is convection and gravity . I hope this helps :)
Adaptations are
the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly
through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation
processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of
life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted
through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears
that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to
protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or
Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms
do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is
through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer
seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>
Answer:
- New seedlings: histone acetylation
- After cold exposure: histone methylation
Explanation:
Vernalization is an adaptive mechanism whose objective is to ensure that flowering occurs only after winter (i.e., after cold conditions). In certain plants, this process (vernalization) suppresses the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In <em>Arabidopsis</em>, vernalization is associated with histone modifications at <em>FLC</em> chromatin. The <em>FLOWERING LOCUS C </em>(<em>FLC</em>) is a MADS-box gene that acts as a repressor of flowering in <em>Arabidopsis</em>. Epigenetic modifications control the expression of the <em>FLC</em> gene. The <em>FLC</em> gene is expressed at low temperatures due to histone acetylation at <em>FLC</em> chromatin, and thereby the expression of <em>FLC</em> mRNA transcripts ensures that the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant cannot flower. Subsequently, as the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant is exposed to cold, <em>FLC</em> is repressed by the accumulation of trimethylation on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), thereby allowing it to flower when temperatures become warmer.
