Biology common mistake haikus

[dedformed]

Hello people let's want to start with a random biology mistakes haiku log where you make haikus about things to watch out for during assessment


Here's one to start us off

When asked for evidence of soft bodied organisms existing
soft organisms
cannot fossilise so use
other evidence

context: I accidentally said that lice have fossils, but they don't.

I’ve fixed these oneS but apparently according to my teacher,  lot of people forget to talk about:

1. genetic variation In a population before explaining allopatric  speciation/Natural selections.

2. Putting numbers for photosynthesis inputs and outputs.

3. Forgetting free nucleotides are needed for the extension stage of PCR.

4. This isn’t a mistake but when do I say condensation reaction vs condensation polymerisation

yes, i have no life

1. genetic variation In a population before explaining allopatric  speciation/Natural selections.

variation, a haiku
crucial indeed, is
mentioning variation
for speciation (and natural selection but then that's more than seven syllables lol)

2. Putting numbers for photosynthesis inputs and outputs.

photosynthesis, a haiku
them plants speak maths too
it's called photosynthesis
input and outputs

3. Forgetting free nucleotides are needed for the extension stage of PCR.

don't forget nucleotides
children o'vcaa (pronounced vee-car)
remember nucleotides
during PCR

4. This isn’t a mistake but when do I say condensation reaction vs condensation polymerisation

Not completely sure, but from my first sac, condensation reaction applies to dimers forming too, while polymerisation refers to polymers (poly= more than two) so depending on the context you'd pick which one is more appropriate, though the latter will almost always be relevant, given the study design.
