But, when semiosis operates, the organism exhibits goal-oriented or intentional behaviour.

However, certain organisms may exhibit a change or shift in the ribosomes frame by one or two nucleotides when translating the genetic code.

This organism also exhibits phototactic movement.

The organisms probably exhibited determinate growth (i.e. stems did not grow further after producing sporangia).

Culture is just one source of adaptive behavior an organism exhibits to better exploit its environment.

During vegetative growth, the organism cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, is heat-sensitive and exhibits flagellar motility.

Such an organism exhibits no left or right sides.

Subsociality is a term used simply to refer to when an organism exhibits any form of parental behaviour.

Some organisms currently classified in the Chromalveolata and thus not plants in the sense used here, exhibit alternation of generations.

In addition, generic damage or "wear and tear" theories could not explain why biologically similar organisms (e.g. mammals) exhibited such dramatically different life spans.
