Geology · Introduction to geology.
Geology is the study of the origin, history and structure of the earth.
By etymology, we can divide the word geology into "geo" for earth and "logy" for science. Geology is hence the science of the earth. With this it is tempting to say, geography is merely a fraction of geology.

This is an individual or organism with distinct or different or unidentical alleles for a particular trait at a given locus. It is important to note the difference between heterozygote and heterozygous. the latter is a situation while the former is an organism.

Biology · Genetics
This is a situation whereby both alleles for a particular trait in a given organism are NOT identical. That is either Aa for situation of dominance or AB for a situation of codominance.

This is an organism that possess identical alleles for a particular trait. The term Homozygote should not be confused for Homozygous during examination situations. Homozygote is an organism while homozygous is a situation.

A hypothesis, is a statement that can either be true or false. It may have a founding reason or not. Nonetheless, hypothesis are accepted in science but are not relied on as they are not (yet) verified. Immediately verified and proven true or false, it's no longer a hypothesis.

These are aggregates of chemicals within the cell that are either produced by the cell or taken in by the cell.
Examples include: lipid droplets, glycogen granules, haemoglobin etc.

Inertia is the reluctance a body has to change its state of motion. In simple, it prevents a moving object from stopping and a resting object from starting any form of motion. It is a function of the objecs size and nature (shape)

A law in science is a verifiable fact. A statement or idea that has not only been proven but can be redone to get the same results.
In a legal system, a law is a defined principle that should not be broken and if broken will incure punishments according to written and approved texts.

This is a condition where a person can see only distant objects clearly as near objects appear blur.. This is because the image of near objects are formed behind the retina. It often also referred to as hyperopia or hypermetropia.
Notice the yellow beam forming behind the eye shown in the diagram above. generally, this can be corrected by wearing a convex lens. Nonetheless, if you recently noticed yours, it might be because of offer stressing on near objects.

A monohybrid cross is a genetic cross between two individuals in which only one character or trait is studied. It can also be defined as a cross involving only one characteristic e.g fur length, fur colour, eye colour, etc.
