Answer:
Plants exchange two gases in the atmosphere i. e. oxygen and carbondioxide. Carbondioxide is entered into the plant body through small opening called stomata which are present on the surface of leaves. Carbondioxode is used as a raw material in the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is produced in the end of photosynthesis process and releases in the atmosphere.
Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase i. homologue chromosomes- 1 inherited from each parent pair along their lengths gene by gene. Independent Assortment is the process where the chromosomes move randomly to seperate poles during meiosis
<span>In order to know whether the plants are members of one population with great diversity or actually members of the same species we can attempt to find out whether they reproduce or not. That's one of the main aspects of two organisms of the same species - fertility.
We could start by setting up some kind of artificial environment where both plants would pollenise at the same time, or we could also collect the pollens from both plants and store it to use them in a different time of the year than that of their production.
After having the pollens available from both plants we could fertilise a group of both plants with each other's pollens (the actual object of study), and also fertilise a group of both plants with their own pollens (so we can have a control for the quality of the pollens and the plants - in this group it is expected to have offspring, if there isn't we cannot take into account any other results).
After the fertilisation, we should now count the offspring. If there is offspring resulting from the crossed plants, they are probably of the same species. We could also compare these plants with the offspring of the normal crossing to check whether there were major differences (such as health issues, or offspring number) that would lead to conclude that still there wasn't compatibility.
By creating a hybrid between this two groups, even if they are from the same species, we may have to take also into account that they may have different required conditions than their parent plants.
</span>The study should be repeated a few times or the number of plants involved should be large enough to be statistically relevant.
The atmosphere, it holds all air on earth and keeps life livable by protecting use from the suns rays. The answer is atmosphere. :)
