"Hey mum, Leighton's coming over. He needs some help with his bio homework" I say to mum.
"Okay honey, leave the door open." She answered back.
"Mum! We are friends!" I said with disgust.
"Yeah yeah whatever you say." Mum said with a laugh
I walked back to my room, doing a quick cleanup and setting up my biology books and laptop so we could do work. And work only.
There was a knock at my door. I looked up to be faced with Leighton who was wearing jeans and a hoodie.
"Hi." I said softly
"Hey." He replied
"So what did you need?"
"I don't get this chromosome and genetic stuff." He said meekly.
I laughed, "Yeah it is pretty hard to understand I guess."
"You're just saying that."
"You caught me." I said with a laugh.
"So, do you get DNA, and what it is made up of?"
"No..."
"Do you even listen in class?
He shook his head. I sighed.
I began to explain to him about Nucleotides. Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine . I told him an easy way to remember the pairs. How when you put them in alphabetical order, based on the first letter of each, the last and the first go together, then the middle two are pairs.
"So if I had the DNA of A C C T A G T, what are the pairs?" I wrote these down for him on the paper.
A C C T A G T
T G G A T C A
"Is that right?"
"Finally! You got it!" I gave him a high five. " Ok next up, male and female
chromosomes"
"Damn, I thought we were done!"
"Done? We have barely even started!"
He groaned. I laughed.
