For the question about how modern farmers (something) with sheep, would I get the mark for saying they use marker assisted selection (as opposed to the older methods of selecting the desirable characteristics)?

For the question about increasing productivity? I said use antibiotics :s-smilie:

I thought it was how he conducted the experiment without using colorimeter? So I talked about the usual thing then went onto talk about the diffencea of colours and filtrate and weigh the mass in the end to see the difference between... I mean otherwise why would they highlight 'not' in bold? That's what my friends did too...

YES!

yes this is what i thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought same? Sure you'll get a few marks writing about how to perform the test.

How would the student go about working out the concentration without the colorimeter?

For "the frequency of occurrence of plants in an area", did you write abundance or percentage cover? I wrote percentage cover because it was plants but I think I'm wrong

For the varitation in bats question, Im presuming they will award marks for environmental and genetic variation aswell as the question asked about characteristics of both, Does anybody else agree?

I swear it said he didn't have a colorimeter, but if he did how would he conduct the experiment.

No it didn't. I believe it was something like:

Given the fact that *guys name* does not have access to a colorimeter, explain how he would test for a reducing sugar. (5m)

It was something along those lines. I know because I wrote the whole thing for if he did have one, and realised when I was reading through that it said "does not"

To prevent extinction of the Antarctic fish:

a) Ex situ conservation in which the fish are bred on a mass scale
b) Humans could reduce their pollution rates in order to minimise climate change
