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.
