Formally, they can never be the same. They can be used to produce the
same result, in limited circumstances, e.g. these:
   alist += bseq
and
   alist.append(anelement)
will give the same result if bseq == [anelement]

You can use alist.extend(bseq) instead of alist += bseq

I suggest that you
(a) read the manual sections on each of the 3 possibilities
(b) explore their behaviours at the Python interactive prompt
