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.
A Punnett square summarizes how the processes of meiosis and fertilization contribute to inheritance of different alleles of a gene. So one major advantage is it can help determine certain things about a child by looking at the dominant and recessive genes and gives a percent of how likely they are to get that thing for example a punnet square may show what color a child’s eye color is likely to be upon birth
Lithosphere is the final layer on the planet Earth, erosion caused by wind (atmosphere) or rain (hydrosphere) may also wear down rocks in the lithosphere.
Answer:
D. Supporting
Explanation:
Ecosystem services include provisioning, regulating, culture and supporting services.
Opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range will affect the supporting services of ecosystem because supporting services deals with soil formation, provision of habitat and nutrition cycle.
Opening of mineral mine will destroy the tosoil, landscape, forests and wildlife of mountain area which affect the supporting services such as habitat and soil formation.
Hence, the correct answer is "D. supporting".
