Answer:

The liquor store represents Lee's power to be his own boss.

Explanation:

Walter Lee is the 'Brother' in the play 'A Raisin In the Sun' written by Lorraine Hansberry. Lee is the only grown-up male, after his father, in the Younger's family.

Lee aspires to open a liquor store from the insurance money of his father's.

The play can be seen as a struggle of a black poor family, who struggles to gain economic status in the society through the insurance money which amounts $10,000.

For Lee, opening a liquor store from this amount, mean to gain power in society to be his own boss and to provide for his family. For him, this store represented economic and social status. This store also represents his dream of <em>'taking hold of the world and a chance to change his life.'</em>

<u>Textual Evidence</u>:

<em>'WALTER (Straightening up from her and looking off) That’s  it. There you are. Man say to his woman: </em><em>I got me a  dream</em><em>. His woman say: Eat your eggs. (Sadly, but  gaining in power) Man say: </em><em>I got to take hold of this here  world</em><em>, baby! And a woman will say: Eat your eggs and go  to work. (Passionately now) Man say: </em><em>I got to change my  life</em><em>, I’m choking to death, baby! And his woman say—(In  utter anguish as he brings his fists down on his thighs) —Your eggs is getting cold!'</em>

Another evidence from the play, which represents his desire of gaining social status is when he says to his wife that the stories that he got to tell to his  son is just 'how rich white people live.' This also asserts that he just do not want to tell tales of rich white people to his son but also wants to give his son that desirable life, as of rich white people.

<em>' and </em><em>all I got to give him is stories about  how rich white people live</em><em> …'</em>

Answer:

Asexual reproduction = Binary Fission = Mitosis

The cell at the end of asexual reproduction compare to the original cell: at the end is called daughter cell, at beginning is parent cell; both have same number of chromosomes (2n = diploid).

The organism which uses the asexual mode of reproduction undergoes mitosis type of cell division.

Mitosis is a type of cell division which divides the parent cells into two daughter cells with the same genetic material, therefore, cells can be compared.

Similarity

1. Daughter cells are the exact copy of the parent cell so are known as clones.  

2. No genetic variation is observed in the daughter cells.

3. Daughter cell contains the same genetic material with the same ploidy or chromosome number.

Differences

parent cell is one but 2 daughter cells are produced.
