The answer will either be auxin or thigmotrope, though it's most likely auxin. Thigmotrope would most likely be for thigmotropism, a plant's response to touch.

Answer: auxin

Tropism can be defined as the response shown by the plant towards an external stimuli. Phototropism is the response of different parts of the plant towards light. The plant roots shows negative phototropism as they grow away from the sunlight but the plant shoots show positive phototropism as they grow towards the direction of sunlight. Geotropism is the response of different parts of the plant towards the gravity. The plant roots shows positive geotropism as they grow underground towards gravity whereas the plant shoots show negative geotropism because they grow away from the gravity and stand erect.

Plant hormone auxin is responsible for the phototropism and geotropism shown by the plant. Auxin help the plant parts which grow in low sunlight condition to bend towards the light, hence plant shows positive phototropism. Auxin also stimulates the growth and elongation of the root cells in plant which helps in penetration of deeper layers of soil hence, supports positive geotropism.

Hello I need help with a pedigree and also punnet square the trait of interest is curly hair

Kaylis [27]

When we are talking of dominance in genes, we have that a gene can present with certain variations, this variations are called alleles. Now acording to mendelian genetics in alleles we can have dominant alleles or recessive alleles.

When an allele is dominant it means thet every time this allele be present the trait thet code will show, it doesn't matter if the organism is homozygous (SS for example) or heterozygous (Ss for example) in both cases the person wil have smile dimples, now a recessive trait will only show itself when is in its homozygous form (ss) and in that case and only the person won't show smile dimples.
