2016 AQA Biology Unit 1 - Unofficial Mark scheme 2016

Scroll to see replies

AQA seemed to have stepped up the game they changed the design and some questions were not in specification such as independent company. Specification seemed to not play a part that much. I do think it was too long and how there was a lot of reading to do meant less time to answer. In the end there was no time to go through and check.

I think this was because none of the categories were at 100% and any single boy could be represented in multiple bars

I put similar (that the categories weren't exclusive).

What was the reason a scatter graph is used?

I wrote continuous data - but i don't think that's right :s-smilie:

I also put that their is a lot of data
WHAT DID YOU SAY ?

I thought you had to times by 100

It was 0.0067 x 100 so 0.67%

Found the exam quite easy if I'm being honest, expecting high grade boundaries :frown:

NOW I CAN confirm my failure

i wrote that bc both variables are continuous or something idk

If they are continuous, it should be a line graph.
I put because they are discontinuous

I did ALL of this and then changed it to 66% because I thought it was too small an answer :frown:

Yeah. I think the answer was just 6% since it would have made more sense when we looked at the two numbers of people that had malaria and those that died

for the making the mosquitoes genetically modified:

The useful gene is cut out using enzymes and then inserted into the male mosquito at an early stage of development. The new gene will continue to develop as the mosquito grows??
