Give one example of chemotropism.
(N/A) Chemotropism is the growth or movement of a plant part in response to a chemical stimulus. $A$ classic example is the growth of the pollen tube towards the ovule during fertilization in flowering plants. The ovule secretes specific chemical substances that guide the pollen tube to grow through the style and reach the ovary.
