    Grades - really upset and feel hopeless :( I don't know what to do.

    I really don't know who to go to advice about this and to be honest I'm kind of embarresed. I've been crying all day and I've never felt more stupid.

Although where I get confused in this question is that it is asking for SOMATIC cells, I thought somatic cells are 1-22 and 23...
