Answer:

A. Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival.

Explanation:

Ideally, TROPISM is the growth response of plants to their environment due to external stimuli as rightly stated in this question. However, based on what stimulus the plant is responding to, there are different types of stimulus.

Phototropism (photo-light) is the response of an organism to a light source while Geotropism (geo- gravity) is the response of an organism to gravity. Hence, based on this question, a plant's response to moonlight is phototropism while it's response to gravity is geotropism.

Also, tropism can either be positive or negative depending on whether the response is towards the stimulus (positive) or away from the stimulus (negative). Therefore, the FALSE statement is "Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival"

balu736 [363]

Answer:

indeterminate

Explanation:

The answer would be <u>an indeterminate number of generations.</u>

The blue trait is a heterozygous trait. In other words, the blue allele does not really exist. Two different alleles team up to produce the trait, whereas, only two the same allelic conditions can produce a true-breeding flock.

<em>Hence, it will take an indeterminate number of generations to produce a true-breeding flock of the Blue Andalusions.</em>

An ionic bond occurs when _____.
Svetach [21]
<span>Ions are another name for charged atoms. Some elements are electropositive, and some are electronegative. Electropositive elements such as metals like to give up electrons, thus taking on a positive charge. Electronegative elements such as chlorine attract electrons, so they become negative. When electropositive and electronegative atoms meet and exchange ions, they take on opposite charges. Because positive and negative charges attract, these charged atoms become attracted to one another. This attraction forms an ionic bond that keeps the ions together.</span>

Why is it protective for the crayfish to have its nerve cord on the bottom of its body?
mr Goodwill [35]
The crayfish have its nerve cord on the ventral side rather than on the dorsal side. The ventral side is under the Crayfishes' exoskeleton, as opposed to the dorsal side where the exoskeleton is . If it is attacked it will be from the dorsal side and the nerve cord would be snapped easier. The function of the nerve cord is that if it gets attacked by a predator they will go for the top and it will still be able to move.
