dna reading, genetic calculations and population management
I'm in the middle of my second exam week and it's a real pain up to now. I've had 5 exams so far and I passed 2 of them already (the final discussion and the assessment about my two written reports). I still need to get my results of my English letter of complaint, my exam about ethology & reproduction and my exam about balancing planet, people and profit. Those 3 all sucked in their own ways >_<
There's 1 exam left, the one that's most feared among students of all years of the study T_T The exam is about DNA reading, genetic calculations and population management and it sucks! I've practiced some example questions and I felt pretty depressed after my session T_T The stuff I need to learn is just horribly boring and difficult >_< And then 2/3 of the exam is made by teachers who are very critical >_<
I can only think of one survival plan which maybe (very maybe) makes me pass this horror: DNA reading is straightforward and thus pretty easy to learn (thank goodness). I just need to practice it regularly to make sure I know what to do right away. I can learn partly for genetic calculations. There are many things mentioned, but the ones that must help me get some points are the Mendel, Hardy-Weinberg, and pedigree calculations. I think I understand how these calculations work (don't ask me how) so practicing them hopefully results in some points for my failed efforts. For the population management part, I just need to do a lot of guesswork and hope some of my argumentations are good enough for a few points.
