Answer:
Cell cycle.
Explanation:
A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.
A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.
Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves. These cells can be compared to the kind of structures found in a business or factory, where you have different workers performing different functions.
In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles and they include nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.
The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo is called the cell cycle. This cycle makes it possible for the cells found in living organisms to divide and produce new cells.
Basically, there are four (4) phases of the cell cycle and these are;
I. Prophase.
II. Metaphase.
III. Anaphase.
IV. Telophase.
Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years
Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years
Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.
Hope this helps you.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
