    Study Notes

    Asexual Reproduction

    • Asexual reproduction involves six types: Binary Fission, Budding, Vegetative, Spores, Fragmentation, and Regeneration.
    • Advantages of asexual reproduction: rapid production of offspring, no need to find a partner, and no energy investment.
    • Disadvantages of asexual reproduction: lack of genetic diversity, prone to extinction, and no adaptation.

    Sexual Reproduction

    • Sexual reproduction produces four haploid daughter cells through meiosis.
    • Advantages of sexual reproduction: genetic variation, adaptation to new environments, and reduced disease susceptibility.
    • Disadvantages of sexual reproduction: higher energy investment, longer development time, and requirement for a partner.

    DNA Base Pairing

    • Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T).
    • Cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).

    Electricity

    • Static electricity: stationary or accumulated on an object's surface.
    • Current electricity: rapid flow through a conductor.
    • Resistance (R) measured in Ohms (Ω).
    • Potential difference (V) measured in Volts (V).
    • Current (I) measured in Amperes (Amps) (A).
    • Parallel circuit: multiple pathways for current flow.
    • Series circuit: single pathway for current flow.
    • Law of attraction: opposite charges attract each other.
    • Law of repulsion: same charges repel each other.
    • Conductors: materials allowing electrons to move freely.
    • Insulators: materials blocking electron flow.
    • Open circuit: "off" or not allowing electricity to flow.
    • Closed circuit: "on" or allowing electricity to flow.
