(Punnett Square) When are alleles homozygous? Heterozygous? What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes? 4 stages of Mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and what happens during each stage 8 stages of meiosis (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II) and what happens during each stage What is asexual reproduction in plants? Examples What is sexual reproduction in plants? Examples Diagrams of male and female reproductive system
Unit THREE Electricity
Explanation on static electricity experiments
The neutral/positive things are attracted to the negative things (electrons) and the negative things are repelled away from the negatives. Measuring Current; I=C/t (current is measured in amperes)
Difference in DC and AC current
Measuring electrical energy ; V = E/C Charge (C) - Measured by counting: Coulombs Current (I)- Measured by rate of flowing charges: Ampere Voltage (V) - Measured by potential energy the charge has: Volt Measuring power ; P = E/t or P=V/t The unit of power is: W (watts) The unit of energy is: J (joules) The unit of voltage is: V (volts) The unit of time is: s (seconds) Power = Current x voltage P=IV Efficiency = output/input Ohms Law R = V/I Factors of resistance Symbols of a circuit How to hook up a voltmeter and ammeter Circuit Diagrams Series and Parallel circuits measure current, voltage and resistance (V=IR)
