asexual reproduction doesn't require two partners in order to reproduce...sexual is the opposite.  It requires two creatures of the opposite sex in order to reproduce.

There are a number of examples in which prokaryotic organisms coalesce into multicellular structures. One of those examples are in a group of bacteria called myxobacteria. In this case, myxobacteria form what's called fruiting bodies as part of their life cycle (see the link below for a picture of a fruiting body).

In biology is the process that allows one diploid cell to divide in a special way to generate haploid cells in eukaryotes. The word "meiosis" comes from the Greek meioun, meaning "to make smaller," since it results in a reduction in chromosome number.\n\nMeiosis is essential for sexual reproduction. It therefore occurs in most eukaryotes, including single-celled organisms. A few eukaryotes, notably the Bdelloid rotifers, have lost the ability to carry out meiosis and acquired the ability to reproduce by parthenogenesis. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or prokaryotes, which reproduce by asexual cell division processes.\n\nDuring meiosis, the genome of a diploid germ cell, which is composed of long segments of DNA called chromosomes, undergoes DNA replication followed by two rounds of division, resulting in haploid cells called gametes. Each gamete contains one complete set of chromosomes, or half of the genetic content of the original cell. These resultant haploid cells can fuse with other haploid cells of the opposite gender or mating type during fertilization to create a new diploid cell, or zygote. Thus, the division mechanism of meiosis is a reciprocal process to the joining of two genomes that occurs at fertilization. Because the chromosomes of each parent undergo genetic recombination during meiosis, each gamete, and thus each zygote, will have a unique genetic blueprint encoded in its DNA. In other words, meiosis is the process that produces genetic variation.\n\nBiochemically, meiosis uses some of the same mechanisms employed during mitosis to accomplish the redistribution of chromosomes. There are several features unique to meiosis, most importantly the pairing and recombination between homologous chromosomes, which enable them to separate from each other.

lysogenic (copies itself in genome of other cells, cell divide...later it enters lytic cell and burst to spread virus\n\nAnswer: Lysogenic cycle

Bacteria do not reproduce sexually in the way that animals do, so there are no "male" and "female" designations.  The closest you would get is F+ and F-, where the fertility plasmid is present or not.  But back to your question, the flagella is in a similar location in all of a species of bacteria.

Parthenogenesis - do a little homework

Homosexuality only applies to life forms that have gender.  Plenty of life forms have no gender.  Viri (viruses) and bacteria would continue to reproduce just fine.  Also, most plants reproduce sexually but plants don't have gender so they too would continue to reproduce just fine.  Most higher animals reproduce sexually and have gender though, so they would all go extinct.

universal precautions are things like hand washing, gloves, ect. reproduction is the replication of one like the parent, be it a cell or organism, sexual or asexual.

Are you looking for all known orthologues of the individual genes in the operon (I assume) or for all occurences of these particular genes in an operon in other organisms (bacteria)?\n\n\n\n/////////\nI would try to look at "HomoloGENE", "Genome" and "UniGene" at the Entrez gateway at the US National Library of Medicine, Nat'l Ctr. for Biotechnology Info. (NCBI) \n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery/gquery.fcgi?itool=toolbar

Reproduction is usually sexual. Males are usually smaller than females (often very much smaller) and often have a characteristically bent tail for holding the female for copulation. During copulation, one or more chitinized spicules move out of the cloaca and are inserted into genital pore of the female. Amoeboid sperm crawl along the spicule into the female worm.\n\nEggs may be embryonated or unembryonated when passed by the female, meaning that their fertilized eggs may not yet be developed. In free-living roundworms, the eggs hatch into larva, which eventually grow into adults; in parasitic roundworms, the life cycle is often much more complicated.

asexual reporduction is when the organism simply makes a clone of itself. Sexual reproduction is when there is a joining of sperm and eggs (this can include hermaphrodites because though it is one organism, they have the joining of sperm and egg internally). Both of them have evolutionary value. I think this is a high school question, so your teacher is probably asking which is better at adapting to changing conditions. It is Sexual reporduction because it allows a greater diversity and therefore the species can survive a wider array of conditions. But the sexual reproduction takes a lot of investment to the organism.

(A) protozoa\n(B) protozoa are eukaryotes (have membrane bound organelles), bacteria are prokaryotes (no nucleus, organelles, etc)\n(C) there are thousands of protozoans in Kingdom Protista (maybe even millions)\n(D) Protozoans are animal like because they are motile (some have flagella and/or cillia), SOME of them cannot produce their own food (via photosynthesis), so they have to get food from their environment, and some are sexually reproducing organisms.\n(E) via sexual reproduction\n\n(F) next time pay attention in class :)

When a pole enters a hole, it produces either a pole or a hole. That is sexual reproduction. Whatever is produced without such entry is said to be asexual reproduction.

Answer C; all the others have to do with sexual reproduction.

good way to remember - mitosis happens in my toes - asexual reproduction of cells, otherwise known as growth.\n\nMeiosis is the process by which sexual reproduction occurs, as in a combination of gametes (containing half the necessary genetic material) to create a new cell.\n\nAlleles are portions of genetic material that have a physical (or phenotypic) effect. These are usually sections of chromosomes, bundles of colied and intertwined DNA.\n\nMutation is any alteration of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic acid (RNA). Evolution could not occur without mutation. Intelligent Design is a bunch of nonsense. It's all random and we are very lucky to be alive and sentient. Don't waste your intelligence on Yahoo Answers. I will now follow my own advice...

Fertilization.\nOr are you asking about what happens in Prophase 1 of Meiosis? Homologous chromosomes, one from each parent pair.
