Answer: C. Microevolution is small scale change to the gene pool of a population while macroevolution is larger scale changes that lead to speciation.
Explanation:
Microevolution can be defined as a small change in the gene frequency within a gene pool of the species, these changes will be inherited by the organisms and there will not be any drastic change at the species level. But in case of macroevolution the large scale change occurs at the genetic level, which retain for long. This leads to development of new organisms or results in speciation.
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.
When the ride is at the top of its pole, it has all potential energy. When it is in the middle, at 34 meters, it has 50% potential energy and 50% kinetic energy. When the ride is almost at the bottom, it has kinetic energy that turns into potential energy as it reaches the end.
