Answer:

all follow the sequence

Explanation:

Pinecone and Pineapple - Scales and bracts are modified leaves, and the spiral arrangements in pine cones and pineapples reflect the spiral growth habit of stems. To confirm this, bring in a leafless stem from some tree or shrub and look at its buds, where leaves were attached.

Artichoke - The spiral of an artichokes leaves can be described by the Fibonacci Sequence. This sequence is a simple mathematical pattern where each successive number in the sequence is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers, beginning with 0 and 1.

Nautilus shell - Each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. An approximation of a logarithmic spiral, created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling; this one uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34.
