Hey, I'm going to an actual microbiologist's lab this Sunday, is there anything you guys recommend I do?

How many "trivia" type questions have you guys run into? My last test was written by a crazy coach, so I had to know things like the formation of Lake Baikal, Lake Pepin, Lake Victoria, Lake Vostok and others, as well as what they all are famous for.

On one of my last invitational tests, it listed a series of DNA sequences and asked which was the most stable. How do you tell if a sequence is stable? There were no issues in matching base pairs or stuff like that.

Amerikestrel, the air sacs increase the efficiency of the lungs so air only goes in one direction through the system. It goes in to the lungs, then out of the lungs via the air sacs so the bird can extract more oxygen during a cycle.

So, I get to do this event at Nationals with no experience because my state doesn't have it as an event. I was wondering if we have to know about alfisols and ultisols and other types of soil. I hope not, because they are confusing.

I don't think you do... it's mainly Ph, concentration, and ...
