EXAMINATION STRESS ON STUDENTS

Image
By
Every student who aims to become a high achiever will experience exam stress. It’s an unavoidable part of student life that can be a tough nut to crack. Remember, stress exists for a reason and you can choose to let it be your downfall or use it to drive you to improve your work.

 To combat exam stress, firstly you need to understand the reasons behind this heightened anxiety. Then you can establish methods to reduce the pressures you feel. Researchers have uncovered some common explanations for this:
  1. Low motivation levels
  2. Lack of preparation and planning
  3. High expectations from others
  4. Competition from peers
Outlined below are some unexpected ways that you can put those negative feelings to one side and concentrate on your learning goals.
Listen to Music:  listening to music can create a positive and productive environment by elevating your mood and encouraging you to study more effectively and for longer. Classical music is recommended as the best type of music to boost your brain power but ambient music can work too.
Take a Quick Walk: Many students feel as if they should spend their entire time before exam with their books open and their pen poised for action. However, research has proven that exercising such as taking a walk can boost memory and brain.
PLAN YOUR STUDY ROUTINE: Students should prepare strategy and prepare study schedule because success rarely comes through accident or good fortune.It takes time,planning and dedication for achieving study goals. Create a plan for study and feel confident and motivated.
Get Enough Sleep: The benefits of a proper night's sleep can never be underestimated.Most importantly, sleep helps the brain to assimilate new knowledge into long term memory so that one can recall it when it comes to test day.Anyone who has tried to concentrate with half a night's sleep can also testify to improve focus with better sleep.
Meditation: Meditation is one of the most effective ways to take a break and see your stress from a different perspective. Practicing meditation is another way to maintain focus while improving both mental and physical health to reduce exam stress.
Breathing Technique: Meditation If breathing becomes rapid and shallow,sit somewhere in a comfortable place and check how quickly you are breathing by placing hand on the chest.If it is one breath in couple of seconds,start breathing out slowly till you get out the last of the breaths in the series in about second time. This has to be done for some time till you are doing it naturally.
Relaxation Routine: Meditation Close your eyes and breath deeply. Try to locate area of tension and relax these muscles. Think of relaxation and after 20 minutes do some stretching exercise.
Physical Activity: Meditation Regular exercise for even as short as 10-20 minutes a day can be very helpful in coping with stress in the long run.
  

 By Practicing above mentioned techniques stress can be managed.

DNA FINGERPRINTING

By
DNA fingerprinting , also called  DNA typing,  DNA profiling,  genetic fingerprinting,  genotyping,  or  identity testing , in genetics  method of isolating and identifying variable elements within the base-pair sequence of DNA  (deoxyribonucleic acid). The technique was developed in 1984 by British geneticist  Alec Jeffreys, after he noticed that certain sequences of highly variable DNA , which do not contribute to the functions of genes  are repeated within genes. Jeffreys recognized that each individual has a unique pattern of minisatellites (the only exceptions being multiple individuals from a single zygote  such as identical twins). DNA FINGERPRINTING

DNA AS GENETIC MATERIAL

By
Frederick Griffith: Bacterial transformation In 1928, British bacteriologist Frederick Griffith conducted a series of experiments using  Streptococcus pneumoniae  bacteria and mice. Griffith wasn't trying to identify the genetic material, but rather, trying to develop a vaccine against pneumonia. In his experiments, Griffith used two related strains of bacteria, known as R and S. R strain.  When grown in a petri dish, the R bacteria formed colonies, or clumps of related bacteria, that had well-defined edges and a rough appearance (hence the abbreviation "R"). The R bacteria were nonvirulent, meaning that they did not cause sickness when injected into a mouse. S strain.  S bacteria formed colonies that were rounded and smooth (hence the abbreviation "S"). The smooth appearance was due to a polysaccharide, or sugar-based, coat produced by the bacteria. This coat protected the S bacteria from the mouse immune system, making them virulent (capable of

MESELSON AND STHAL EXPERIMENT

By
Meselson and Stahl’s Experiment Meselson and Stahl’s Experiment was an experimental proof for semiconservative DNA replication. In 1958, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl conducted an experiment on  E.coli  which divides in 20 minutes, to study the replication of DNA. Experiment 15 N (heavy) and  14 N (normal) are two isotopes of nitrogen which can be distinguished based on their densities by centrifugation in cesium chloride (CsCl). Meselson and Stahl cultured E.coli in a medium constituting  15 NH 4 Cl over many generations. As a result,  15 N was integrated into the bacterial DNA. Later, they revised the  15 NH 4 Cl medium to normal  14 NH 4 Cl. At a regular interval of time, they took the sample and checked for the density of DNA.

DNA REPLICATION

By
DNA REPLICATION:  It is the process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from the original DNA molecule. This is the basis of inheritance. DNA replication is  semiconservative . Each strand in the double helix acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. New DNA is made by enzymes called  DNA polymerases , which require a template and a   primer   (starter) and synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' direction. During DNA replication, one new strand (the   leading strand ) is made as a continuous piece. The other (the   lagging strand ) is made in small pieces. DNA replication requires other enzymes in addition to DNA polymerase, including   DNA primase ,   DNA helicase ,   DNA ligase , and   topoisomerase .

Common errors while writing Examination

By
Errors committed by children Remedial measures 1)   Not going through the questions properly:  Apart from 15 minutes browsing time, the students must go through the questions at least twice very carefully and with calm mind before attempting it.  2)   Reaching the examination late which adds fuel to the already built up tension: Must reach the examination hall well in time and meditate for 2-3 minutes before browsing the question paper. 3)  Not writing the question numbers correctly:  Must be very careful in writing the question numbers.  4)   All parts of an answer to a question are not written at one place:   Should write all parts of a question at one place. In case if it is felt that some points couldn’t be recollected, leave some space and proceed to the next question and whenever recollected come back to it. 5)   Presentation of answer not up to the mark and in a confused manner:   Adequate practice of different types of questions and revision of the

STRUCTURE OF DNA

By
What is DNA? DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences. DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule.
