The leaves of a plant fold inward when touched as a way to defend themselves from potential harm. what kind of response do the leaves demonstrate? a. nastic response b. phototropism c. transpiration d. gravitropism e. photosynthesis              asap pls

 A. nastic response

Explanation:

The thigmonasty is a kind of response shown by a plant towards touch and vibration stimuli. It is generally produce in response to changes in plants that occur due to turgor pressure within a cell. The plants generally show this kind of response so as to decrease their surface area so that they can be protected by the grazing herbivores. Also some insectivorous plants like Venus fly trap use it to trap insects when they come in contact of the plant.

On the basis of the above explanation, The leaves of a plant fold inward when touched as a way to defend themselves from potential harm is the example of A. nastic response.

explanation:

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
