Answer:

Sexual reproduction:

Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.

Cons: requires more time and energy.

Asexual reproduction:

Pros: Does not require finding a mate.

Cons: Produce less genetic variation.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.

Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.

Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.

Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.

Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.

Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.

Answer:

Sexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction

Pros Leads to a greater genetic variation Does not require finding a mate

Cons Require more time and energy Produce less genetic variation

Explanation:

Asexual mode of reproduction is the most simple and fastest mode of reproduction. Some common modes of asexual reproduction are – binary fission, budding, sporation, branching, etc.

Asexual reproduction is a fast reproduction process in which genetically identical offspring are produced. It generally takes place in simpler unicellular organism or plants.

While in sexual reproduction, genetically varied offspring are produced and also it requires two mates to intercourse therefore it is a time taking process as well

Hence, the correct match is

Sexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction

Pros Leads to a greater genetic variation Does not require finding a mate

Cons Require more time and energy Produce less genetic variation

Which brain vesicle gives rise to the midbrain and cerebral aqueduct?

Mariana [72]

The mesencephalon gives rise to the midbrain and aqueduct of the midbrian(cerebal aqueduct). Both the prosencephalon and rhombencephalon develops in to the metencephalon and myelencephalon. The telencephalon develops into the cerebrum and lateral ventricles. The diencephalon forms the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.

Which of the following best describes the pattern of microbial death? Which of the following best describes the pattern of micro

____ [38]

Answer:

The cells in a population die at a constant rate

Explanation:

Microbial death is the loss of the ability of microbes to reproduce and survive in an environment. When a given microbial population is given a treatment, the microbial cells die at a constant rate. Microbial death rate is not dependent on the specie and nor on the antimicrobial agent.

Therefore, the microbial cells in a population does not die at once but die at a constant logarithmic rate; the cells decreases exponentially as nutrients decreases and waste product increases.

For example, if 500,000 microbes are treated or in a nutrient depleted environment and 50,000 microbes is left after 1 minute, by the next minute under the same condition 5,000 microbial cells will be left and this pattern will continue, this explains exponential decrease

A signaling pathway that stimulates cellular growth and division is positively regulated by a GTPase encoded by an autosomally l

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a.

Explanation:

A Diploid organism possess two copies ( also called alleles) of each autosomal gene, of which one copy of the gene is obtained from one of its parents and the other copy from its other parent.
During the process of replication, one of the alleles of the GTPase encoding gene undergoes a mis-sense mutation.
A Mis-sense mutation can be defined as a non-synonymous mutation in which one of the nucleotide in the sequence of the gene gets altered such that it causes a change in the amino acid encoded by the codon (triplet nucleotide message encoding for a single amino acid) formed by the mutated nucleotide. A single amino acid change in the protein, if occurs in the functional site of the protein, can render a protein non-functional.
Hence, the mis-sense mutation in one of the alleles encoding for the GTPase gene causes the resulting protein produced from the mutated allele to have drastically reduced function (1%).
A heterozygous cell is one which has one copy of the normal allele and the other copy of the mutated allele of the GTPase encoding gene.
As one copy of the normal GTPase allele is present in such an individual, it can produce the normal GTPase protein that can assist in the process of cell growth and division.
Hence, the phenotype(expressed character) of the heterozygous cell will not be affected due to the mutation and it will be able to grow and divide normally.

the only reason i am wasting one of the two answers your post is allowed to get is because its been 3 hours and no one has answered yet.

Where do you go to school? I think it is very coincidental that you have the exact same question i do, and you had the question exactly when I got the question...about 3 hours ago. Now it IS a curriculum so its not that weird, but by any chance are you in K12? 8th grade?
