Pray for me- I have a genetics exam

Ugh. Just...ugh...

[ET Awful]

1. Is that anything like a DNA test? :)

Just kidding.

GOOD LUCK!

You'll kick major genetic booty!

2. DNA is easy...

...it's shit like doing complementation tests to see if the gene is cis dominant...maping out genes based on %contransduction...
Did I mention I also have the worst test anxiety like, ever? I blank out. I sweat bullets.
Once I make it thru this class, it's smooth sailing. Then I can take the cool bio classes- virology, bacteria physiology...shit like that.

3. Genetics? Prayer? Good God Good luck.

x+x=female
x+y=male
x+y+y=nutsoid
x+x+x= good question but, oh, never mind.
Good luck.

8. Haha...

love it...

So what genes would make up Ann C. then?

4. The result is already determined.

Relax.

5. What gene are they examining exactly..can you be specific?

Do not have an exam without a second opinion. JMHO...see now you have a second opinion...GO FER IT!

6. here get some practice.

Do you know the difference between genotype and phenotype? Can you perform a monohybrid cross? If so, test your knowledge of Mendelian genetics. To take the Genetics Quiz, simply click on the "Start The Game" button below and select the correct answer for each question

if you want to find more quiz's just google genetics quiz you'll find tons of web site's that will give you practice. I do it for all my test and it does help.

9. ohh it's not on classical genetics (which I can do in my sleep)

It's on MICROBIAL genetics. You know, Hfr x F- matings between E.coli and that lovliness...waaah

7. What does it cover?

the Hardy-Weinberg equation manipulations always throw me. somehow, they can take a population
718 AA...29Aa...9aa
and manipulate it so that they find out what the population is SUPPOSED to be, and refigure the new population as 729AA...21Aa...6aa. This is to me like saying:
2x3=6, but 6/3= 1.5
I just don't get it.

10. BTW

I am SO SICK OF THESE GUYS:




I know they're awesome model organisms, but CHRIST they SMELL x(

11. Really? I kind of miss it.

After 10 years away from the bench it's funny what you miss. I swear I'd almost run a Southern Blot just for the "fun" of it these days. Or make a phage library or sequence something..wait, I must be delirious, better go lay down.

12. nice avatar, btw

I need to make a T4 phage avatar- they're just too cute :7
(I am a geek)

13. I can't wait to see it!

Yeah, they're cute until they're contaminating your plasmid preps ;-)
