Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands is a series of islands positioned in what looks like a chain, which increases in age as one moves northwest. The Hawaiian hotspot was formed as a result of the collision of the tectonic plates in the outer part of the earth which caused the rise of a volcano, and which in turn gave off magma which came to rest on a seafloor. That eruption on the seafloor is the hotspot.

This hotspot remains unmovable while the tectonic plates are in constant motion around the hotspot, giving rise to further Islands. This explains the age distribution pattern of the Hawaiian islands which arrived at different times making some older than the others.

TEA [102]

In fact, the concordance rate of autism spectrum disorder was twice in identical twins that of non-twin siblings.

It has been shown that genetic has a huge influence on the development of autism spectrum disorder and that autism in identical twins was 13 times that of the general population. This suggest that environmental factors in the womb are the major factors that contribute.

SIMPLE STAINING OF BACTERIA AND YEAST
grin007 [14]
For staining flagella of bacteria use actively motile organisms 20 to 24 hours old, allow to diffuse in sterile water 20 to 30 minutes, transfer droplets of the suspension to clean slides and let evaporate without spreading. Then treat 2 to 4 minutes with the following mordant: tannic acid 10 or 20%, 50 cc.; ferric chloride 5%, 10 to 15 cc.; carbol fuchsin (Ziehl-Nielson), 5 cc.; hydrogen peroxide 3%, 6 to 8 cc. Wash and stain 2 to 3 minutes with a mixture of basic fuchsin, saturated alcoholic, 10 cc.; anilin oil (1 part) and 95% alcohol (3 parts) mixed, 5 cc.; distilled water, 30 cc.; acetic acid, 4%, 1 cc. Wash thoroly with water.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION:

-creates genetically unique offspring

-organism needs time to reach adulthood to reproduce

-requires the contribution of two parents

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION:

-creates genetically identical offspring

-organism doesn’t have to waste energy to find a mate

-requires the contribution of a single parent

Explanation:

Living organisms employ two types of reproduction to produce their offsprings. They are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction is that reproduction involving the fusion of two sex cells from opposite sex individuals i.e. male and female. Sexual reproduction forms offsprings with unique genetic contents, which is as result of the meiotic process that each individual organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs). Since there must be a fusion of gametic cells, sexual reproduction requires the contribution of two parents (a male and a female). Also, the parents only undergo meiosis to produce gametes at certain points in their life. Hence, they have to wait to reach adulthood to do that.

On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves only the contribution of one parent as the fusion of genetic material is not needed. Hence, the offsprings form by cellular division that makes it genetically identical to the parent cell. Energy is not needed to find a mate, the organism simply reproduces on its own by dividing into daughter cells.
