To see the difference between <span>biped and a quadruped,</span> let's compare the skeletons of the man (biped) and the horse (quadruped):
*The man has the bigger pelvis: he has to bear the weight of the body.*The scapula is smaller.*The bones of the hind leg bigger.*The forearms more mobile.*The man has the spine that attaches under the skull.*And the tail that has completely regressed.
the man has adapted to standing and biped (he walks on 2 feet): his hind legs are reinforced.

❖ The term that matches this statement is Metaphase. Metaphase occurs in Mitosis and Meiosis. The homologous chromosomes line up in single file.

The fusion of two parents' genetic material is understood as sexual reproduction while asexual reproduction yields genetically similar offspring to the same parent.
<u>Asexual Reproduction:</u>
This way all the prokaryotes and other eukaryotes produce offspring. There are a variety of different asexual reproductive practices. These comprises of binary, fragmentation, and budding fission.
- The binary fission appears when a parent cell wants to split into 2 separate daughter cells of the same diameter. For an instance, protozoa reproduces in the same way.
- Fragmentation happens when a parent entity divides into small parts or fragments, and each segment grows into a recent organism. Starfish, that way replicate.
- Budding happens when a parent cell develops a bud close to a bubble. When growing and developing, the bud remains connected to the parent cell. This get detached from the parent cell when the bud is completely grown, and becomes a new entity. It is common in hydra and yeast.
<u>Sexual Reproduction:</u>
- A reproductive process which comprises haploid female gamete fusion, i.e. egg cell and haploid male gamete i.e. sperm cell.
- That implies they only include half the number of chromosomes contained in other species cells. A form of cell division named meiosis creates gametes.
- These gametes are fused at fertilization which results in the production of a diploid zygote having the chromosome double of gametes.
