Misc
Most common type of cell division.
Mitosis
Electric potential expressed in volts.
Voltage
Curved or rounded inward like the inside of a bowl
Concave
The distance from the pivot to the bob
Length
The change in velocity over time.
Acceleration
The basic physical unit of inheritance.
Gene-
A device that slows down the flow of electricity and is used for current control in an electric circuit
Resistor
Curved or rounded outward like the outside of a bowl
Convex
The total distance the bob travels in one direction
Trajectory
How fast an object is moving; the change in position over time.
Velocity
Variant forms of the same gene. Different ________ produce variations in inherited characteristics such as eye color or blood type.
Alleles
An instrument used to determine electric current, usually in amperes
Ammeter
The distance between one peak or crest of a wave and the next wave peak or crest
The fixed point from which the bob is suspended
Pivot
The force that resists as one solid object moves over another.
Friction
An individual’s collection of genes. The term also can refer to the two alleles inherited for a particular gene.
Genotype
An instrument used to determine volts, or the difference in potential between multiple points of an electrical circuit
Voltmeter
When two or more waves combine, the variation of wave amplitude that results
Interference
The object that is suspended
Bob
The force equal to the centripetal force on an object moving in a circular path but in the opposite direction.
Centrifugal force
An individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye color, and blood type.
Phenotype
A device that, as part of an electric circuit, stores energy and usually consists of foils or plates
Capacitor
A phenomenon that occurs when light passes by the edges of solid objects or goes through small openings, causing the light rays to change direction
Diffraction
Half of the distance the bob travels from one side to the other
Amplitude
The force that keeps an object on its circular path.
Centripetal force
