There is no mating or mixing of genetics in asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction results in a clone of the parent; the offspring has identical DNA as the parent. There is usually no variation from generation to generation in a species population that relies on asexual reproduction.

One way for an asexually reproducing species to get some diversity is through mutations at the DNA level. If there is a mistake in mitosis or the copying of the DNA, then that mistake will be passed down to the offspring, thereby possibly changing its traits. Some mutations do not change the phenotype, however, so not all mutations in asexual reproduction result in variations in the offspring.​

MAVERICK [17]
Percent error is calculated by the expression:

%error = |actual value - observed value| / actual value x 100

We calculate the error of the values as follows:

<span>a. 23.487 cm
% error = |</span><span>23.490  - 23.487| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.013%
</span><span>
b. 23.493 cm
</span>% error = |23.490  - 23.493| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.013%
<span>
c. 23.516 cm
</span>% error = |23.490  - 23.516| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.11%<span>

d. 23.501 cm
</span>% error = |23.490  - 23.501| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.05%<span>

e. 23.477 cm
</span>% error = |23.490  - 23.477| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.055%

Which of the following best describes an advantage that eukaryote organisms have over prokaryote organisms?A) Prokaryotes lack a
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Answer is D.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that possess nucleus and membrane -bound organelles. They derived their name from the word eukaryote, which means true nucleus. They can be single-celled or multi-celled. Examples are fungi, some unicellular organisms, plants and animals.

Prokaryotic organisms are all other organisms that lack membrane -bound organelles and nucleus. Examples are viruses, bacteria and certain algae.

state one reason why a glucose molecule is more likely than a sucrose molecule to diffuse through an artificial membrane
zimovet [89]

Answer:

A glucose molecule is smaller  

Explanation:

An artificial membrane has pores of a specific size.

Molecules that are small enough can pass through the pores, but others may be too big.

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) has a certain size, but a sucrose molecule (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) is bigger.

If the membrane pores are just the right size, a glucose molecule will be able to pass through, but a sucrose molecule won't.

Amoeba move by extending their cytoplasm to form a(n) Or false foot
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Pseudopods

Explanation:

Amoeba move by extending their cytoplasm to form pseudopods on the surface of mud or soil. The pseudopodia are formed by forward streaming of endoplasm forming a protuberance. The endoplasm then converts to ectoplasm which stiffens the pseudopodium. More cytoplasm flows into the pseudopodium with the result that the organism gains a new position.
