I had a question yesterday that said something along the lines of:
A patient has a mutation in an enzyme required for purine synthesis, which of the following pathways will be directly affected?
A) DNA replication
B) RNA transcription
C) Both
D) Neither
This is a simple question, especially for a guy like me with a molecular biology degree. I have all of the necessary knowledge to answer this. In spite of that I got it wrong.
At first I was like, "clearly both processes need purines so...
How do you guys avoid overthinking or underthinking a question and avoiding dumb errors in general?
