Adverse Impact Law and Legal Definition. Adverse impact, in the context of employment, refers to employment practices that appear neutral but have a discriminatory effect on a protected group. It occurs when a decision, practice, or policy has a disproportionately negative effect on a protected group. The adverse impact may be unintentional.
Example of Gravitropism in the remains of a cellar of a Roman villa in the Archeologic Park in Baia, Italy. Geotropism (also known as gravitropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.bundant evidence demonstrates that roots bend in response to gravity due to a regulated movement of the plant hormone auxin known as polar auxin transport (Swarup et al., 2005). This was described in the 1920s in the Cholodny-Went model.
One of the reasons organisms are the way they are has to do with adaptive radiation. Adaptive radiation is the evolutionary divergence of members of a single lineage into a variety of different adaptive forms. Usually the adaptive forms differ in their use of resources or habitats, and this divergence happens in a relatively short interval of geological time.
