What was the question? I forgot lol.
It was reasonably easy, I should have revised more.

Questions about Fermentation/Meiosis...cant remember the rest.

Yeah it wasn't bad. But like you, I should have revised more, I made up the bases for that double helix question, atenin and cytosine and what not. xD

I'm getting worried now lol. It asked about how the double helix is held together, so I just said by the paired bases and the sugar and phosphates on the side. Don't quote me on this though. =))

I think you are propbabily right but perhaps to get the second mark you had to mention something else besides the pairs.:confused:

i thought that they will give one mark for identifying each pair?

The questions was how do the DNA join, I think you get 1 mark mentioning A-T C-G pairs and 1 mark for mentioning the phosphates and sugars

The multiple choice tomorrow should be easy :smile:

I knew that I just forgot the name of the pairs so I sorta made them up like atenine instead of adenine but they were quiet close though xD. And yes multiple choice today! Yay?

Don't worry. It's only one question. I've done much worse and I tell u I always get over it. It's usually Edexcel's nasty wording that trips me up.

I know that's what everybody keeps telling me but the thing is I actually knew how to answer but I made one dumbass mistake, instead of dividing to get N to KG, I multiplied! This is kind of sad, its been hours and still :tongue:
