We get part A of the breeding and genetics exam tomorrow. Finding out what species it's going to be based around, and three hours to research and write down whatever information we think we may need for questions that may come up. So in other words I am channeling the spirit of Mor.din to pass this thing in January.

#thorn talks #model scientist #to be fair i've looked at past papers and it actually seems way easier than i was expecting #and that's saying something considering i am not a confident person and i am someone riddled with anxiety #we're obviously not allowed to find out what specific animal it is until tomorrow #but we've been told that it's not as bad as we were maybe expecting #so i'm assuming it's not an exotic animal #because exotics can be trickier when researching #if it's not exotic then it's domestic #livestock or pet #with implied ease i'm more liable to guess a species more commonly kept as a pet #can't be dogs because i think that was in a recent past paper #cats are seasonally polyoestrus so the details can get quite wordy #in terms of common and easier animals to talk about when it comes to breeding and genetics #that leaves four options in my mind: mice. rats. guinea pigs. rabbits.#or i could end up completely blindsided #who knows #anyway the main thing i need to stay fresh on are mendal's laws (they just don't stick in my mind well)#and dihybrid punnett squares (i just get easily mixed up with the number of possible genotypes)
