Answer:
Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation and asexual reproduction does not.
Explanation:
The key difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction occurs between two parents while asexual reproduction occurs via a single parent. Asexual reproduction requires only a single divisible cell to produce a new organism, whereas sexual reproduction requires two gametes, their formation and fusion.
The statement “This type of evidence can be checked by others” best explains the importance of empirical evidence in science.
Explanation:
There are all kinds of evidence used in science, but empirical evidence is obtained as a result of <u>repeated experiments and observations</u>. This evidence is used to either support or argue against a scientific theory. Empirical evidence is the preferred evidence since this kind of evidence can be peer reviewed, i.e. reviewed by other scientists and/or researchers. In other words, the experiment can be redone, and the <u>evidence can be tested</u>.
Answer:
The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.
Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.
It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.
Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.
Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.
Amino acids. These class of compounds
are considered the building blocks of most organisms, and around 500 of these
are known and indentified. All proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are
polymers ("many units") and each unit is an amino acid.
