Answer:

response to stimuli / tropism

Explanation:

The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.

The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.

Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.

Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).

That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
