Answer 1

Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. Natural patterns include symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tessellations, cracks and stripes.

Scottish biologist D'Arcy Thompson pioneered the study of growth patterns in both plants and animals, showing that simple equations could explain spiral growth. 

Cultural Patterns are Shared beliefs, values, norms, and social practices that are stable over time and that lead to roughly similar behaviors across similar situations. Customs, laws, dress, architectural style, social standards, religious beliefs, and traditions are all examples of cultural patterns.
