Gametes are the cells in human body used for reproduction, such as sperms or eggs, and somatic cells are the other body cells, such as muscle cells, skin cells and all other.

First, they have different number of chromosomes. Gametes have only one set of chromosomes, while somatic cells have a complete 2 set of chromosomes. This is because fertilization requires 2 gametes joining together and this will help maintain the correct amount of chromosomes at last.

Second difference between them is that gametes are products of meiosis, while somatic cells are products from mitosis. Both are types of cell divisions but meiosis produces 4 genetically different cells while mitosis produces 2 genetically indentical daughter cells.

Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations as opposed to individuals.​
RSB [31]

Answer:

Natural selection can be described as a phenomenon in which individuals of a population which are better adapted to survive in an environment are favored by nature as compared to the individuals of the population which lack better characteristics to survive in the environment.

Through natural selection, evolution occurs and the allelic frequency changes over a period of time. The process of evolution as well as change in the allelic frequencies does not occur just by a single individual, rather it is a collective effort which takes a lot of time. Hence, we say that natural selection changes the population and not a single individual.

How does cellular respiration occur in animals? Please include the formula. Thank you very much. I need it bad because I'm in sc
Crank

The formula for aerobic respiration in animals can be shown by the equation below. A glucose molecule is broken down by enzymes in the presence of oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATPs. Carbon IV oxide is expelled by the lungs.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 38 ATP

This process occurs in two stages. Glycolysis (that does not require oxygen) occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. The products of the glucose breakdown in this stage is pyruvate, CO₂ and 2 net ATPs. The pyruvate is then converted to acetyl-CoA that enters the second stage called Citric/Krebs cycle. This second stage happens in the mitochondria. The products are CO₂, H₂O and 34 ATPs
