Answer:
Explanation:
Phototropism is the growth of organism characterize by their response to light stimulus. It occurs mainly in plant and some Algae.
The response of plant to light enable them use energy from light needed for photosynthesis.
Plant Phototropism characterise some plant growth and development such as flowering,fruiting and seedling formation.
Inability of plant to respond to light reduces it ability to photosynthesize and make sugar needed for their activities ,flower and fruits. It reduces it growth and development.
We have positive and negative response. Positive response is the response of plant towards the direction of light while negative response is the response of plant away from light.
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
It is d) to continue the species!!
hope this helps :)
