Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

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.
