During asexual reproduction there is only one parent cell resulting in only a haploid.

A hapliod is represented by (n)

and a diploid is represented by (2n)

Which process would explain why organisms have different characteristics if they evolved from a common ancestor?

The process of natural selection explains why organisms have different characteristics when they evolve from a common ancestor. In a given environment, individuals with variations that confer a better chance of survival and reproduction are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of different traits in different populations, resulting in species diversity.


When comparing the processes of meiosis and mitosis we find that they?

Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division and results in the formation of four genetically unique haploid daughter cells. Mitosis involves one round of cell division and results in the formation of two identical diploid daughter cells. Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction, as it creates genetic diversity, while mitosis is responsible for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.


Explain how a species can reproduce asexually How does this impact genetic variation?

the cell goes through mitosis (interphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and it splits into two identical cells (during this process the DNA is duplicated). As a result of asexual reproduction, there is no variation in population.


Which term describes someone who believes that scientific laws rather than supernatural powers explain all phenomena?

A person who believes that scientific laws rather than supernatural powers explain all phenomena is often described as a "naturalist" or "natural philosopher."


What do scientists use that helps explains ideas about the natural world?

Typically, scientists use mathematics to help explain ideas about the natural world. Mathematics has been described as the language of science.

What type of reproduction results in offspring that are usually genetically identical to previous and explain why?

Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.


What is the term for asexual reproduction in sponges explain how the new individual forms?

Asexual reproduction in sponges can happen in a couple of different ways. The most well-known method is called gemmulation and it begins when groups of cells get stored on the surface of the sponge. New life erupts from these cells into sea water.


Identify two types of asexual reproduction in plants Explain how each method works?

Two types of asexual reproduction in plants are runners and cuttings. Runners are stems that grow horizontally on the surface of the soil and produce new plants at nodes along the runner. Cuttings involve taking a piece of stem or leaf from a parent plant and placing it in soil or water to allow roots to grow and form a new plant.


Explain what the contrast of reproduction of bacteria with that of frogs?

Bacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission, where a single cell divides to make identical copies. Frogs reproduce sexually through the fusion of egg and sperm cells, leading to genetic variation in offspring. Bacterial reproduction is rapid and produces offspring identical to the parent, while frog reproduction is slower and leads to genetic diversity.

What is the advantage of seeds?

Seeds are the equivalent of a fertilised egg, a product of sexual reproduction. It then has the potential to develop into a new plant with half the genetic information from the father and half from the mother.The alternative to this is asexual reproduction, like in potatoes or spider plants, which send out runner on which they grow new plants. These are genetically identical the the parent plant as they only have DNA from one plant.The advantage of seeds is first and foremost variation.Survival of the fittestIn the animal and plant kingdoms today, there is a constant battle to be the tallest, fastest, strongest, most adapted species. This is because only the best will go on to breed - meaning the offspring are receiving better genes, and therefore will be better plants/animals. This is how evolution works. In asexual reproduction, the species can never develop, save for the occasional beneficial mutations.Now it may be easier to explain the advantages of sexual reproduction by explaining instead the disadvantages of asexual reproduction.MutationsIn asexual reproduction, the genetic information is copied and replicated over and over again. Any slight mistake in the copying process will cause a mutation, which will go on to be replicated over and over.Therefore sexual reproduction (seeds and babies!) is an advantage asDiseaseIf the parent plant is susceptible to a disease, all the offspring will be too, as they are genetically identical. This is why blight can wipe out an entire filed of potatoes.Therefore sexual reproduction is again an advantage as the offspring have a mixture of DNA from both parents, making them different and therefore not necessarily susceptible to the same diseases.
