Taxis (Phototaxis). Means movement.

its A

@tvile Moths use moonlight to guide themselves at night. Moths get overwhelmed by a artificial light and the side facing it has a faster wing beat, which is why they fly in circles.

@mrdoldum this is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you pick @tvile ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tvile Now, my second part about the answer is that the term "taxis" in a biology framework, refers to the reflexive/instinctive movement in response to some external stimuli.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of you guys were right! :p Lol so i guess the medal goes to the first person who answered

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tvile And, migration is the mass movement of individuals of a species or group of species from one area to another frequently for food. And imitation is mimicry, like how some non-poisonous snakes shake their tail in dry leaves to sound like rattlesnakes.
