Biological Patterns
Biological patterns refer to the recurring structures and behaviors observed in living organisms. These patterns can be seen in various forms, such as the arrangement of leaves on a plant, the symmetry of animal bodies, or the migration routes of birds. Understanding these patterns helps scientists study evolution, ecology, and the relationships between different species.
One well-known example of a biological pattern is the Fibonacci sequence, which appears in the growth patterns of many plants, such as the arrangement of seeds in a sunflower. Another example is mimicry, where certain species evolve to resemble others for protection or survival. These patterns illustrate the complexity and interconnectedness of life on Earth.
