Biology questions are solved by linking a structure or organism to its function, process and stated condition.
Find the tested idea
Name the biological structure, organism or process first, then identify the condition that makes it distinctive.
Build the solution
Match structure to function and trace the process in its correct order. Keep similar terms separate by the job each one performs.
Verify before choosing
Return to the exact wording and check that the conclusion satisfies every stated condition, unit and definition.
