Biology

Meiosis I differs from mitosis by introducing genetic diversity through crossing over.
Organelles surrounded by a double membrane include the nucleus only.
Asexual reproduction examples are fragmentation, budding, and binary fission.
Catecholamines are monoamine hormones derived from tyrosine.

Energy

Denmark leads globally in the percentage of wind power used for electricity generation.
Graphite can be used as a moderator in nuclear reactors.

Math

A regular icosahedron has 20 faces.
A change in the highest recorded value affects the mean and range but not the median.
The type of conic section represented by the equation (0 = x^2 + 2x - y^2 + 6y - 14) is a hyperbola.
If two equations have the same solution for x, the value of a when adjusted is -4.

Chemistry

Argon has 3 degrees of freedom, all of which are zero for rotation and vibration.
The molecule with tetrahedral molecular geometry contains 2.
The ratio of redox potential for reactions A and B, with differing moles of electron transfer, is 3/2.
Proline is an amino acid present in collagen, known as an imino acid.
J.J. Thomson discovered electrons and calculated their mass-to-charge ratio.

Earth and Space

The lapse rate describes the temperature decrease with increasing altitude.
Backdoor cold fronts are most common in Maine.

Physics
