A forest has two groups of plants that appear to be very similar both phenotypically and genotypically. The major difference is

that one plant group releases its pollen in February, while the other group releases its pollen in April. Design a plan for collecting the data needed to determine whether the plants are members of one population with great diversity or members of two separate species.
be sure to include:

-the variables you plan to use
-a detailed description of the experiment
-how data would be collected
-how data would be analyzed

The basics would be that you'd need to find out if they could exchange genetic information. If not, they couldn't be considered part of one species. Set-up 2 artificial environments so both groups would produce pollen at the same time. Fertilise both plants with the other's pollen. Then fertilise the plants with pollen from their own group. 
Count the number of offspring each plant produces. 
If the plants which were fertilised by the opposite group produce offspring, they are of the same species. You can then take this further if they are of the same species by analysing if there is any difference between the number (and health) of offspring produced by the crossed progeny and by the pure progeny. You'd have to take into account that some of them would want to grow at different times, so a study of the progeny from their first sprout until death (whilst emulating the seasons in your ideal controlled environment). Their success could then be compared to that of the pure-bred individuals. 
Make sure to repeat this a few times, or have a number of plants to make sure your results are accurate. 
Or if you couldn't do the controlled environment thing, just keep some pollen one year and use it to fertilise the other group. 
I'd also put a hypothesis in there somewhere too. 
The independent variable would be the number of plants pollinated. The dependant variable would be the number of progeny (offspring) produced.

Part A - Modification of chromatin structure Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are tr
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generation of cells

Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription

DNA is not transcribed when packaged tightly in a condensed form

methylation of histone tails can promote condensation of the chromatin

Explanation:

chromatin modifications that can be passed on includes epigenetic modifications that are heritable changes made to the chromatin structure that does not involve the DNA sequences. Some epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation and Histone modifications. examples of histone modification include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquintylation etc. All these function either in allowing the DNA become more accessible to transcritional factors or vice versa. for exmple, histone tail acetylation encourages unwounding of nucleosomes allowing transcriptional factors to have access to the DNa while histone tails methylation further tightens the nucleosomes promoting condensation of the chromatin.
