Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Explanation:

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent. It results in offspring that are genetically identical to each other

and to the parent. All prokaryotes and some eukaryotes reproduce this way. There are several different methods of

asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding.

• Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size.

• Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism breaks into fragments, or pieces, and each fragment develops

into a new organism. Starfish, reproduce this way. A new starfish can develop from

a single ray, or arm. Starfish, however, are also capable of sexual reproduction.

• Budding occurs when a parent cell forms a bubble-like bud. The bud stays attached to the parent cell while

it grows and develops. When the bud is fully developed, it breaks away from the parent cell and forms a new

organism.

Asexual reproduction can be very rapid. This is an advantage for many organisms. It allows them to crowd out

other organisms that reproduce more slowly. Bacteria, for example, may divide several times per hour. Under ideal

conditions, 100 bacteria can divide to produce millions of bacterial cells in just a few hours! However, most bacteria

do not live under ideal conditions. If they did, the entire surface of the planet would soon be covered with them.

Instead, their reproduction is kept in check by limited resources, predators, and their own wastes. This is true of

most other organisms as well.

Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction involves two parents.

reproductive cells—called gametes—that unite to form an offspring. Gametes are haploid cells. This means they

contain only half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism. Gametes are produced by a

type of cell division called meiosis, which is described in detail in a subsequent concept. The process in which two

gametes unite is called fertilization. The fertilized cell that results is referred to as a zygote. A zygote is diploid

cell, which means that it has twice the number of chromosomes as a gamete.

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.
