Update: I think I've finally got it! I made flashcards for all the key terms and drew out the whole process step by step. Just took a practice quiz online and got 90%!
Seriously can't thank you all enough for the biology homework help. This forum is a lifesaver. I'm going to check out those resources @JakeTThompson and @Michael_StormX mentioned for more practice before my test.
Glad you're feeling better about it! One more tip for help with biology homework - I found it helpful to remember "CDART":
- C: Complementary base pairing (A-T/U, G-C)
- D: Direction (DNA is read 3'→5' but synthesized 5'→3')
- A: Antiparallel strands in DNA
- R: RNA types (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA)
- T: Triplet genetic code (codons)
Also, if you're a visual learner like me, BioRender has some amazing protein synthesis diagrams that make everything super clear!
@Aiden_Walker77 CDART is brilliant! Definitely adding that to my study guide. I am a visual learner so I'll check out BioRender right now.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually kind of enjoying learning about protein synthesis now that it makes sense. Biology is way more interesting when you actually understand what's happening!
