Difference:

The biological process of sexual reproduction requires the input of genetic material from many people. When a flower self-pollinates, for example, the term "individual" might refer to gamete cells developing as a single physical or even genetic organism. I don't want to substitute the word "cell" for "person," either, as that would eliminate instances of acellular biologic entities that reproduce, like viruses. When a piece of a chromosome from one bacterium is injected into another, it recombines and reproduces there, with or without sporulation, which is one instance of what I consider sexual reproduction but which not all viewers would. My notion just requires some genetic material, even in the form of an episome, not gametes. Asexual phases are included in nearly all forms of reproduction, but I regard all of them to be a part of sexual reproduction when they take place throughout a life cycle that also contains an obligatory sexual phase. Brewer's yeast serves as an illustration of the distinction I make because either the diploid or haploid stage, which could be classified as a gametophyte or sporophyte, can be maintained through an infinite number of mitoses. As a result, I consider vegetative propagation to be asexual reproduction.

Now that you have the difference compare the similarties.

Vertebrate span across a diverse array of life on earth today. Fish are the first to evolve and amphibians still live with stron

poizon [28]

Answer:

Fossil evidence shows that vertebrates made the transition from water to land during the DEVONIAN period.

SALAMANDERS are amphibians that most closely resemble early tetrapods in body form with a long tail and 4 limbs of similar length.

A distinctive characteristic of mammals that is not observed in other vertebrates is ENDOTHERMY.

By the end of the CAMBRIAN period, all major animal lineages were present in the seas due to a great adaptive radiation of animals.

The vertebrate lung first appeared in AMPHIBIANS

Explanation:

Vertebrates started to transition from water to land later in the Devonian period. The vertebrates had to adjust to living on land such as withstanding gravity, breathing in air, adjusting senses to living on land than on water, and significant water loss due to the new environment. This was a big step in the realm of evolution because vertebrates were now able to thrive because they are no longer limited to the resources and space of water.

Salamaders are said to have not evolved much and have some characteristics that resemble early tetrapods. Regeneration of limbs is one of the salamanders unique capability which early tetrapods possessed.

Amphibians are ectotherms, which means they get their energy outside their body or their source of heat would be the heat from the environment. Amphibians and reptiles are ectotherms, and mammals are endotherms. Endotherms can generate heat internally.

The Cambrian period marks the Cambrian Explosion. According to fossil records modern organisms evolved rapidly and soon after split into different phyla due to adaptive radiation as a result of the extinction of dinosaurs.

The evolution of lungs is one of the most important changes in vertebrates which allowed early amphibians of water to move to land. It enabled them to breath air.

Imagine that one of your parents had Huntington's disease. What is the probability that you, too, will someday manifest the dise

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

There is a 50% chance of getting Huntingdon's disease.

Explanation:

Assume the affected parent is Hh, where H is the Huntingdon's disease allele and h is the unaffected allele. One parent is unaffected, or hh. You have a 50% chance of getting the H allele from the affected parent.

If I had the choice to get tested, for Huntingdon's disease, I would do it. I would want to know so that I wouldn't live my life worrying about it everyday.

How might the manipulation of DNA or RNA be used to treat disease?

zzz [600]

Answer: With gene therapy

Explanation:

Manipulation of DNA or RNA is used to treat disease with gene therapy. This type of therapy is introducing genetic material into cells because it should compensate for abnormal genes or it should also make a beneficial protein.

Gene therapy is able in some cases to introduce a normal copy of the gene and after that, it can restore the function of the protein.

How will the movement of water affect a survey if it is transferred from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?

Inga [223]

Answer:

The cell will shrink

Explanation:

In an hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell through the process of osmosis. This shall be due to the high concentration of water in the hypotonic solution than that in the cytoplasm.

Due to this movement, the cell bulges out.

If the cell is transferred to a hypertonic solution, water shall move out of the cell thereby making the cell shrink. This is because water concentration in the cytoplasm shall be higher than that in the hypertonic solution.

Effect to the survey shall be an experience of the exact opposite of the previous immersion.
