Populations of organisms that reproduce asexually tend to show less variation from one individual to another. Why might this be? Make a claim and use your scientific reasoning skills to support your claim.

Claim: Asexual production shows less variation because they are direct copies of their predecesors unless a mutation were to occur. Asexual reproduction can be studied at the cellular level when looking at the biological process known as mitosis. It starts off when hormones from the environment or themselves kick off this motion. DNA polymerase, with a plethora of other enzymes will copy the DNA. Mutations do occur, but are fixed in later stages. Because variation comes from genetic mutation, the same genetic material being copied, with the fail safes many cells have in place to prevent mistakes do not allow for much variation.

what statement best describes the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?

the sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. the parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions.

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
