2.  "b" is the answer. The plant is responding to the stimuli light. Plants will grow towards the light. The exact mechanism which plants  use to carry out this process will be discussed in the section on plant physiology. Plants have adapted this process in order to display their leaves to receive optimum light intensities.

3. The correct answer is "b".  Sexual reproduction provides a means for a larger number of diverse gene combinations. This process will be examined in miniunits Gamma and Delta. During sexual reproduction genes from two parents are randomly segregated and mixed forming  a different gene combination for its offspring. The offspring of organisms reproducing asexually are genetically alike.  Gene variation is better!
