Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

The inflammatory response (inflammation) can be described as a localized response to an injury or to the destruction of tissues. It occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause. The cells in  damaged tissue release chemicals that can cause swelling, redness, heat, pain in the damaged area, all as part of the healing process. Some of those chemicals are cytokines that bring in body's immune cells. Others are histamine and prostaglandins which cause swelling, pain and fever. As the body heals, the inflammation gradually decreases.

Many plant cells have more than two complete sets of chromosomes in each cell. Explain how this might occur.
otez555 [7]
Polyploidy (more than two complete sets of chromosomes) is not rare among plants. For example, pollen grains may reach female flowers via animals or wind. In some cases, pollen grains from species with 4 complete sets of chromosomes will have 2 sets of chromosomes. Pollen grains may fuse with a female reproductive organ with 1 set of chromosome (so, female plant must have 2 sets of chromosomes). The resulting zygote will have 2 + 1 sets of chromosomes, so the plant will have 3 complete sets of chromosomes.

A forest has two groups of plants that appear to be very similar both phenotypically and genotypically. The major difference is
Gennadij [26K]
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.
