Answer:

Interrupt the long winter nights with a brief period of light.

Explanation:

Long day plants, also called short night plants, flower when the dark period is equal or less than the critical period specific for the species. These plants normally flower in summers when nights are short and days are longer. Winters have a long dark period and do not support flowering in shirt night plants.

A continuous dark period is critical for flowering. A short night plant can flower in winters (having longer dark periods) if the dark period is interrupted by exposing the plant with a flash of light. To make short night plants, such as iris to flower in winters, the plant should be given short period of light after completion of critical dark period.

laila [671]

The blisters occur in the second degree burn. The first degree burn only cause the damage to the outer layer of the skin. The blisters are a result of the accumulation of the fluid between the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and the layers below it. So, for blisters to occur, at least damage to two layers of skin is necessary.

In first degree burn, due to the damage to epidermis only, the redness occur and the blisters does not occur.
