    Study Notes

    Noble Gases

    • Noble gases are non-reactive elements found in Group 18 of the periodic table.
    • Under standard conditions (1 atm pressure and 0°C), helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon qualify as noble gases.

    Doppler Effect

    • The apparent change in frequency of a wave as observed when the source and observer are in relative motion is called the Doppler Effect.
    • This phenomenon affects sound waves, light waves, and other types of waves, causing a shift toward higher or lower frequencies.

    Energy Production in Stars

    • Nuclear fusion is the primary process responsible for energy production in stars.
    • In this process, lighter atomic nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.

    Meiosis and Crossing Over

    • The primary purpose of crossing over during meiosis is to increase genetic diversity in gametes.
    • This process involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, leading to new combinations of alleles.

    Biological Macromolecules

    • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the biological macromolecule primarily responsible for the storage of genetic information.
    • DNA's structure consists of two strands forming a double helix, containing sequences of nucleotides that encode genetic instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.
