Beneath it were several questions, each phrased simply but carrying the weight of expectation:
1. Explain, in your own words, the life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum. Include each stage and the significance of the mosquito vector.
2. List three examples of codominance in genetics and briefly describe each.
3. Describe the process of transcription in eukaryotic cells. What enzymes are involved?
4. Outline the steps for preparing a standard solution in the chemistry lab. What precautions should you take to ensure accuracy?
5. What are the differences between DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase III in prokaryotes?
After Nnenna saw it, he took it back.
