Summary Introduction
Introduction: Charles and Francis Darwin conducted experiments on coleoptiles. Their experiment involved four groups of coleoptiles. In the first group of coleoptiles, the tips were removed. In the second group, tips were covered by opaque material. In the third group, the tips were covered by transparent material. In the fourth group, the site of curvature was covered by opaque material.
