Phototropism is the ability of a photosynthesizing organism, to grow directionally in response to a light source. It is very common in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi.

Example :: Sunflower

ATP generally energizes a cellular process by direct chemical transfer of a phosphate group.

The most important polymer present in the nucleus is DNA- the master molecule. It is a polymer of Nucleotides.

The given series is 1000, 1012, 988, 1024, 978

1000

1000 + 12 = 1012

1012 - 24 = 988

988 + 36 = 1024

1024 - 48 = 976 (Not 978)

Obsession is to compulsion as cognition is to behavior.

In chemistry rusting is called as oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical process where metal gains oxygen and become oxide. In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust.

The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance. 

Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect.

1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types

2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome.

Two forms of intragenic recombination:

a) crossing over
b) independent assortment
3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).
