Aqa biology unit 2 gcse official thread

Scroll to see replies

Some of the questions were worded strangely, such as the 50% of being a girl one. For that, I mentioned xx chromosomes. Also the question about the process that causes shivering. For that, I wrote about going from one extreme temperature to another, I didn't put homeostatis or respiration.

Noo! I think the answer was more eggs = more chance of the fertilisation to occur, tho i may be talkin about different question


There was no question about increasing the fertilisation chance or was there?
The insulin question I relised I got wrong with 2 minutes left and managed to correct it howver know I'm worried I've made other mistakes as I didn't have time after correcting it to check any more questions.

I bet lots of people would have slipped up there if we're right.
I didn't have time left either. As a result, I missed out on the last enzyme/washing question.

Perhaps the 50% question was because the allele only affects females. So, doctors are expecting (or need) 50% females so that there is a chance that at least one of those female embryos won't be affected by the allele?

I must admit that the question was worded strangely. Still, only 2 marks.
The sweating question asked WHY sweating happens or did it ask HOW it happens?

Well, was this question about the woman comming out of the sauna? and how/why did she sweat was that the question?
For the why 50% of them are female, I am pretty sure it's because half have Xy and half have XX, NO?

I think it asked why she sweated more, and i suppose the answer is so she could increase heat loss through evaporation.
Vasodialtion: Blood vessels dilate...= increases heat loss
