heres what i do, group ideas together, and if possible make a word out of it... like milc N Cookie Treats (the bones of the foot are the first 4 and the capitols) also group things together into a rememberable pattern, like find a relationship between numbers, or make a story out of it... and lastly i also will try to visualize things, and remeber it a different way from the words, like back o the previouse example, il remember what a foot looks like, then fill in hte answers from that...\n       and ive made deans list 7 out of 8 semesters, i hope this works for you, \nGL )

Good games for testing short term memory are those like the game "Simon", where you repeat a sequence of tones associated with a flashing colored light.  The more tones you hear at the beginning of each round, the more you have remembered in your short term memory.\n\nLikewise, there is also the "matching" game, where you take an even number of cards, where two of each of the cards have the same picture on them.  You flip over one card, and then the other until you find a match.  Keep track of the times you flip over cards after finding one where you have seen its match.

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

OK, draw yourself up a nice big checkerboard with 16 squares! Down the left hand side, write beside each square the 4 possible gametes produced by 1 parent - for parents with the genotypes you have given above, the gametes produced are: AB, Ab, aB, ab - this is because each egg or sperm produced will have only half the number of genes of the parent (so ONE copy instead of 2) so that when the egg and sperm meet, they will have 2 copies of each and not more!!! So the gametes will have ONE copy of the 'A' gene (which may be either the dominant 'A' allele or recessive 'a' allele - half the gametes will get one type of allele and half the other) and the same goes for the 'B' gene, to produce the possible gamete types above. Then, along the top of your little checkerboard diagram, write above each of the 4 squares the 4 possible gamete types for the SECOND parent - which in your case, are the same as the first!\n\nNow - you want to fuse your eggs and sperm to produce offspring! Do this by combining the gamete genotype of 1 parent with that of the other in the box where they meet up - eg if your very top left-hand square has the genotype 'AB' above it, and 'AB' to the left of it, then the genotype of the offspring produced will be AABB - homozygous for both! And the square 2 down from the top, in most left column, might be combining the gametes 'Ab' with AB - producing offspring AABb, which is homozygous for gene 'A' but not for gene 'B'.... and so on and so forth for the rest of the squares!\nI WOULD RECOMMEND DRAWING UP THIS SQUARE TO SHOW YOUR WORKING - YOUR TEACHER WILL BE WANTING TO SEE THAT!\ndouble homozygotes are AABB, AAbb, aaBB, or aabb...

Try writing it down, rewriting it.  Put into memory flash cards so you can look at them, write 5 bullet points and try to remember them, talk about them, write about them.  Test yourself, because you probably remember more than you think.  Be positive if you are positive you tend to remember more i have found.  Take a break if you have been working to long then you won't remember anything!  Take 5 Min's get a drink something to eat.  Don't read a book though it clouds up your memory of what you need to remember it confuses all the facts!!!!!

Meiosis is also known as reduction division.\nIt is a type of nuclear division that gives rise to four reproductive cells (gametes) each with half the chromosome number of the parent cell. Two consecutive divisions occur. In the first, homologous chromosomes become paired and may exchange genetic material before moving away from each other into separate daughter nuclei. This is the actual reduction division because each of the two nuclei formed contains only half of the original chromosomes. The daughter nuclei then divide by mitosis and four haploid cells are produced. Four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase\n\nMitosis is a type of nuclear division that results in two daughter cells each having a nucleus containing the same number and kind of chromosomes as the mother cell. each chromosome divides lengthwise into two chromatids, which seperate and form the chromosomes of the resulting daughter nuclei. Four stages as well prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, which merge into each other. Mitotic divisions ensure that all cells of an individual are genetically identical to each other and to the original gertilized egg.

Write it down and look at it every once in a while. The other thing I do to remember numbers is to associate it with something that I cannot forget. Analogies work greatly in memory!

You can try these few methods that I always use to memorise my maths formula.\n\ni) Divide the menu into smaller portions, eg main course, drinks, etc. You will concentrate on one portion at a time to memorise. Look at the first few dishes, say first 4, and then write them down on a rough paper. Then cover up the menu and try writing out the first 4 dishes again. If you cannot remember, you take a quick look at the menu and then try writing again. Once you can write it out in full, you can proceed to the next 4 dishes. \n\nUse the same method to memo the next 4 dishes, however you could have forgotten the first 4 dishes. So once you finish this 2nd set of dishes, you try writing out the first set. It could be hard writing it out again. But you can take a quick look at the menu everytime you find it hard to remember. Ultimately you would want to write it out a few times without looking at the menu.\n\nAfter that, you will combine the 2 sets and try writing out the first 8 dishes without looking at the menu. Once you can do that, you proceed to the next 4 dishes using the same method above.\n\nOnce you can memo the 3rd set, you will try to write out all the sets. From set 1 to 3 all over again. So this is the way you try to add on to the things you memo.\n\nOnce you are done with the main course, you may proceed with the drinks. However, for this portion, your set 1 will be the first 4 drinks. Try to memo the first 4 drinks and proceed to the next set. You do not have to combine the main course portion with this very first set of the drinks when doing your memorising work for this portion, because you have actually separated the whole menu into portions right. The aim of this memorising work is to be able to write out each portion at one go without looking at the menu and then checking each portion to make sure that you can write them out correctly.\n\n------------------------------------\nii)Try forming words using the first letter of each dishes that are easy to remember. \nEg. \nChicken Chop\nFish and Chips\nSalmon Salad \nBig burger\nHamburger\n\nSo we have C, F, S, B, H.\nYou need to form a sentence using this few letters and this sentence can be anything that you can associate with. Can be your friends, work, home, etc. \n\nthe Cat and the Fish are Shouting at each other. i dont think we should quarrel, we should Be Happy with what we have.\n\nThis sentence is indeed very long, however knowing the context, we can shorten it \n\nCat and Fish are Shouting, Be Happy\n\nSo whenever you read out this sentence, you will visualize the cat and fish quarreling.\nThis seems tedious, however you must know that humans can remember pictures much easier than words. \n\nAn alternative is to just attach a word to each letter and dont even care about whether the sentence makes sense.\n\nC, F, S, B, H.\n\nYou can reemeber it as\n\nCome Find Star, Be Happy.\n\nIf you can remember it easily in this way, it would be good for you. It is a very good and fast method as you would find it hard to form a sentence that makes sense.\n\n----------------------------------------------\niii) Another method is to form a picture with the words or formula. This is a good way to memo formula.\nEg.\n\nChicken Chop\nFish and Chips\nSalmon Salad \nBig burger\nHamburger\n\nFor every dish, you can attach a picture to it. For example, you can attach a cresent to the letter C. Beacuse the C looks like a cresent. \nYou may wonder, " wouldn't it be easier if i just attach the picture of the real dish the its own name,"\nYes definitely, you can do that. However if you are working in a restaurant that serves foreign food or the owner gives fanciful names to the dishes, then you would find it hard to memorise.\n---------------------------------------------\nTake note:\na) It is hard to try out these new methods the first time. You need more practise. The more you do it, the more you would be used to it.\n\nb) I think the best method is method (i). I used th

i did this, i used a ball of styrofome( er however you spell that) for the whole cell, and a smaller ball for the nucleus. then i just found a buncha little things for everything else. i used toothpicks with little tags on the end to label the parts

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I will do my best to give you good links to help you answer the questions yourself.\n\nhttp://www.biology.arizona.edu/CELL_BIO/tutorials/meiosis/main.html\nhttp://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/meiosis.html\nhttp://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookmeiosis.html\nhttp://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/anisamples/majorsbiology/meiosis.html\nhttp://biologyinmotion.com/cell_division/index.html\nhttp://www.csuchico.edu/~jbell/Biol207/animations/meiosis.html\nhttp://taggart.glg.msu.edu/bs110/meiosis.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance\nhttp://www.thebiotechdictionary.com/term/triploid\n\nI hope that helps. Most of the links explain meiosis. Some have animations to assist their explanations. The wikipedia article is about Mendel's law of independent assortment. The final link is to the definition of triploid. \nThat should make it easier for you to do the work on your own. By the way, congrats on attending college classes online. (I assume it is a college course.) It is a good idea to use as many resources as you can. When I don't understand subjects in my classes I usually look up the main terms in google.

If we were talking about human cells, there are 23 chromosomes in each cell. In mitosis, there are four main steps with another peparation time. The four are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase (PMAT). The peparation time before mitosis is called Interphase (not a step of mitosis) where chromosomes duplicate themselves (23 x 2 = 46 chromosomes total). During these steps of mitosis, the cell divides into two. So if a cell with 46 chromosomes divide into two daughter cells, then each daughter cell will have 23 chromosomes in the end. The result of mitosis: more cells with the same number of chromosomes in each cell.\n\nA cell goes through a cell cycle. Use this link to see the cell cycle: http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells2.html\n\nrelatively, mitosis is a short process.

Meiosis is the process that transforms one diploid cell into four haploid cells in eukaryotes in order to redistribute the diploid's cell's genome.\n\nMeiosis forms the basis of sexual reproduction and can only occur in eukaryotes. In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes. These resultant haploid cells will fertilize with other haploid cells of the opposite gender to form a diploid cell again. The cyclical process of separation by meiosis and genetic recombination through fertilization is called the life cycle. The result is that the offspring produced during germination after meiosis will have a slightly different blueprint which has instructions for the cells to work, contained in the DNA. This allows sexual reproduction to occur.\n\nMeiosis uses many biochemical processes that are similar to those used in mitosis in order to distribute chromosomes among the resulting cells; however the outcome is very different.

meiosis (mīŏ'sĭs) , process of nuclear division in a living cell by which the number of chromosomes is reduced to half the original number. Meiosis occurs only in the process of gametogenesis, i.e., when the gametes, or sex cells (ovum and sperm), are being formed. Because fertilization consists of the fusion of two separate nuclei, one from each of the sex cells, meiosis is necessary to prevent the doubling of the chromosome number in each successive generation. An ordinary body cell is diploid; i.e., it contains two of each type of chromosome. The members of each pair are known as homologous chromosomes. An ovum or sperm is haploid; i.e., it contains only a single chromosome of each type and, therefore, half the number of chromosomes of the diploid cell. When the two haploid cells fuse, the diploid number is restored, and the plant or animal growing from the fertilized egg (zygote) has the usual diploid number of chromosomes in its cells. Just before meiosis each chromosome replicates to form two identical copies in the form of strands called chromatids joined together at a point called the centromere. In the first stage of meiosis, called the reduction division, the members of each pair of homologous chromosomes lie side by side and crossing over occurs. Each member of the pair then moves away from the other toward opposite ends of the dividing cell, and two nuclei, each with the haploid number of double-stringed chromosomes, are formed. Thus at the beginning of the second meiotic sequence, called the equational division, each cell nucleus contains one chromosome from each homologous pair and each chromosome is of two strands that are identical (except where crossing over has occurred). Then the chromosomes separate into their single strands which move toward opposite ends of the dividing nucleus. The result of meiotic division is four cells, each haploid, with one chromosome of each pair.
