Figure 4. The binomial distributions and the indicator of direction of the growing roots .

Figure 4

Inline graphic . The sample bimodal distribution calculated from the: A. experiment; B. non-random model; and C. model of random growth. Double arrows mark the difference between maxima of bimodal distributions. This difference defines the value of Inline graphic. D. The indicator of direction of the growing roots, Inline graphic, exhibits high variations in the case of non-random growth, both in experiments and numerical simulations, and low variations in the case of random-growth model. The parameter values used in B and C are as in Fig. 3 B and C, respectively. Inline graphic stands for experiment number.
