Facilitates the roots of plants going down towards gravity and the stems to rise up away from gravity. ... Thus, the difference is that geotropism is driven by gravity and phototropism is driven by light.

"Phototropism" is like the phototropic of the disposition or the development ; while "tropism" on the other hand , is like the adjustment on a organism to the extrinsic to the ' stimulus'

How many 02 molecules are required for two glucose molecules to undergo cellular respiration?
jekas [21]
Answer: 12

Explanation: the reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + 38 ATP + heat
Because of the 2 glucose molecules you multiply the stoichiometry with a factor 2 so: 2 x 6 O2 = 12 O2

Genetic variation makes individuals within a species different. Fertilization results in each offspring having a copy of each ge
murzikaleks [220]

Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]

The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).

Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.

Ulleksa [173]

Irina's claim is not found here but evidence from an experiment might include the amount of a product (chemical) or the order of nucleotides (biological evidence).

<h3>What is scientific evidence?</h3>

Scientific evidence refers to the observations that can be used to support (or reject) a working hypothesis.

Scientific evidence is variable depending on the field but it is always collected by observational or experimental procedures.

In conclusion, Irina's claim is not found here but evidence from an experiment might include the amount of a product (chemical evidence) or the order of nucleotides (biological evidence).

Why do biologists believe that a primitive choanoflagellate protist is the ancestor to all animals
Tpy6a [65]
Since an animal only becomes more complex, and not simpler, an ancestor to all organisms would have to be the most simple and primitive organism.
