How can you determine the main idea and enhance your vocabulary?
Might sound weird but this is a type of skill with determining main idea is a huge struggle, sometimes I get confused with details and not sure if they are even important or not. The vocabulary is just a minor, but I really would like my vocabulary to enhance better so it helps me understand more. Thankts to whoever helps. ♡
Usually writing follows a pretty regular format: introduction, discussion, conclusion. Read the beginning. What does the paper seem to be introducing to you? Read the discussion. What's the common theme that the points come back to? Read the conclusion. What idea is the conclusion re-introducing you to? What was the common theme throughout the paper? What did it keep telling you about? That's probably the main theme.
Examples:

with context, thus making it more memorable and having it be easier to understand. Just make sure you're actually paying attention to what you read. Sometimes when we don't know something, we skim over it or skip it, which isn't going to make an impression on our brain.
Other than that, another way to enhance vocabulary is - you guessed it - studying a dictionary. Read and review it often. Test yourself. Just tackle small chunks at a time. ^^

YOUR QUESTION: A grey cat and a yellow cat produce 16 offspring. How many are grey, how many are yellow, and how many are calico? Both traits are co-dominant. I'm not really sure how to set up a punnet square with 16 boxes??.. Thank you if you can help ^-^!
It's been a while since I did a problem like this, so if anybody has any other advice or way to solve this problem, please speak up! I answered what I thought, but perhaps you know better. <3Break this problem down! A 16-box punnet square definitely sounds too complicated, when a typical punnet square (or what we usually see with one set of two-component alleles, which is what I'm guessing you have) gives you four boxes. But what do those boxes give you?
A statistic. A percentage you can apply to calculate how many cats of each the offspring are expected to be.
Set up your regular punnet square, then do some math. ;3
