Twining of tendrils is due to :
Correct answer: A. Thigmotropism
- A. Thigmotropism
- B. Seismonasty
- C. Heliotropism
- D. Diageotropism
Explanation
Thigmotropism involves nastic movements resulting from touch. It occurs in tendrils which coil around support and help the plant in climbing. Phototropism is a paratonic movement in response to unidirectional light stimulus. Chemotropism is a directional paratonic movement that occurs in response to a chemical stimulus.

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
