What is the similarity between phototropism and geotropism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both are growth-based directional responses
Phototropism is the directional growth response of a plant to light, while geotropism, or gravitropism, is the directional growth response to gravity. Although the stimuli differ, both involve growth in a particular direction and are regulated by plant growth mechanisms such as unequal distribution of auxin. Thus option A states the correct similarity.
