I like unit 5 too so far. Doesn't seem too complicated. I did not enjoy unit 4! its scary to think that the next exam will be on everything that we covered in a-level biology..

What do you need help with? :redface:

I was supposed to do an essay (1000 words) on the ethics of using animals for recombinant DNA technology, and ended up writing 1100 words on Diabetes and insulin :biggrin:

Everything, we've just started BIOL5 and I can't get my head round any of it. And I don't really revise it at home as I want to do a french and history degree, so I concentrate on those subjects and leave bio out, but I need a B.
Ah really need to step on this now, not that much time left for Biology :frown: (Because the content is so long)
