Answer:

B. Nucleosomes

Explanation:

Chromatin is made up of certain repeating units called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome has a stretch of DNA that is wound around a complex of eight histone molecules. The eight histone molecules together make histone octamer. A DNA of 146 base pairs is wrapped around this scaffold made up of histone molecules.

A stretch of DNA called linker DNA joins the adjacent nucleosomes together. The DNA wound around the histone scaffold appears as a beadlike structure. One nucleosome scaffold has two copies of each of four different histone types. These are called H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone H1 is joined to the linker DNA.

A plant scientist was hired by a greenhouse operator to devise a way to force iris plants to bloom in the short days of winter.
Ksju [112]

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.
