depression angle\"\r\n**The Fix:** \r\n- **Elevation** = looking **UP** (eyes go higher)\r\n- **Depression** = looking **DOWN** (feeling down, looking down)\r\n- **Memory aid:** Depression makes you look down 😔\r\n\r\n### 🚫 **Mistake #2: Wrong Triangle Setup**\r\n**The Error:** Using the hypotenuse instead of adjacent/opposite sides\r\n**The Fix:** In heights/distances, we almost NEVER use the hypotenuse\r\n- Focus on the right angle at the base\r\n- Height = opposite, Distance = adjacent\r\n\r\n### 🚫 **Mistake #3: Unit Mix-ups**\r\n**The Error:** \"Answer: 42.5 meters feet\"\r\n**The Fix:** \r\n- Read carefully: meters vs feet vs miles\r\n- Convert ALL units before calculating\r\n- Write units in your final answer\r\n\r\n### 🚫 **Mistake #4: Angle Mode on Calculator**\r\n**The Error:** Calculator set to radians instead of degrees\r\n**The Fix:** Always check your calculator mode!\r\n- Most problems use degrees (30°, 45°, 60°)\r\n- tan(30°) ≈ 0.577, but tan(30 radians) ≈ -6.4\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## 🧮 Lightning-Fast Reference Sheet\r\n\r\n### 📊 **Instant Angle Values**\r\n- $\\tan 30° = \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{3}} ≈ 0.577$\r\n- $\\tan 45° = 1$\r\n- $\\tan 60° = \\sqrt{3} ≈

Write in brief.\r\n\r\n**🎯 Topic:** Fossil formation process\r\n**🧠 Key Concept:** Natural preservation through geological processes\r\n\r\n**Complete Answer:**\r\n\r\nDue to natural disasters such as volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes, dead plants and animals get buried under the surface of the earth. Then, the delicate and soft parts of plants and animals decay while the hard parts remain in the soil. The process of pressing down of these parts by the soil above them continues in the ground for a very long time and finally, the external morphology of these hard parts is formed on the soil which by then has changed into sedimentary rock. In this way, fossils are formed.\r\n\r\n**🔍 Additional Context:**\r\n- Process takes **millions of years**\r\n- Only **hard parts** (bones, shells, teeth) typically fossilize\r\n- Requires **rapid burial** to prevent complete decay\r\n- **Sedimentary environment** essential for preservation\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n#### Question 2: Fossil Rock Association 🔥\r\n**Question:** Why are fossils found only in sedimentary rock?\r\n\r\n**🎯 Topic:** Rock types and fossil preservation\r\n**🧠 Key Concept:** Sedimentary rock formation conditions\r\n\r\n**Complete Answer:**\r\n\r\nFossils are found only in sedimentary rock because fossils are formed by dead bodies being buried in sediment.

Law of Dominance:**\r\n- **Principle**: When organisms with contrasting traits are crossed, only the dominant trait appears in F1 generation\r\n- **Example**: Tall (T) × Short (t) pea plants → All tall offspring in F1\r\n- **Dominant traits**: Expressed with one or two copies of the allele\r\n- **Recessive traits**: Only expressed with two copies of the allele\r\n\r\n#### **2. Law of Segregation (Purity of Gametes):**\r\n- **Principle**: Each parent contributes one allele for each trait; alleles separate during gamete formation\r\n- **F1 generation**: Both alleles present but only dominant expressed\r\n- **F2 generation**: Alleles segregate, showing both traits in 3:1 ratio\r\n- **Gamete purity**: Each gamete carries only one allele for each trait\r\n\r\n#### **3. Law of Independent Assortment:**\r\n- **Principle**: Alleles for different traits are inherited independently\r\n- **Application**: Dihybrid crosses showing 9:3:3:1 ratios\r\n- **Requirement**: Genes must be on different chromosomes or far apart\r\n- **Modern understanding**: Genes on same chromosome may show linkage\r\n\r\n### 📊 **Genetic Cross Analysis**\r\n\r\n#### **Monohybrid Cross Ratios:**\r\n- **F1 generation**: 100% dominant phenotype (all heterozygous)\r\n- **F2 generation**: 3:1 phenotype ratio, 1:2:1 genotype ratio\r\n- **Example**: Tt × Tt → TT:Tt:Tt:tt = 1:2:1 genotype, 3:1 phenotype\r\n\r\n#### **Dihybrid Cross Ratios:**\r\n- **F1 generation**: 100% dominant for both traits\r\n- **F2 generation**: 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio\r\n- **Example**: Round Yellow × Wrinkled Green → 9 Round Yellow : 3 Round Green : 3 Wrinkled Yellow : 1 Wrinkled Green\r\n\r\n#### **Test Cross:**\r\n- **Purpose**: Determine genotype of dominant phenotype individual\r\n- **Method**: Cross with homozygous recessive individual\r\n- **Results**: 1:1 ratio if heterozygous, all dominant if homozygous\r\n\r\n### 🔬 **Scientific Methodology in Genetics**\r\n\r\n#### **Why Pea Plants (Pisum sativum)?**\r\n1. **Short life cycle**: Quick generation turnover\r\n2. **Large offspring numbers**: Statistical significance\r\n3. **Easy cultivation**: Controlled breeding conditions\r\n4. **Self-fertilization ability**: Pure line maintenance\r\n5. **Cross-fertilization possible**: Controlled crosses\r\n6. **Clear contrasting traits**: Easily observable differences\r\n7. **Fertile hybrids**: Viable F2 generation\r\n\r\n#### **Advantages over Other Organisms:**\r\n- **vs Frogs**: Difficult breeding, seasonal reproduction, one generation per year\r\n- **vs Humans**: Long generation time, small family size, ethical constraints\r\n- **vs Complex organisms**: Multiple interacting genes, environmental effects\r\n\r\n### 🧪 **Genetic Terminology and Concepts**\r\n\r\n#### **Basic Genetic Terms:**\r\n- **Gene**: DNA segment determining a specific characteristic\r\n- **Allele**: Alternative forms of the same gene\r\n- **Genotype**: Genetic makeup of an organism (AA, Aa,
