I put down mitochondria instead of mitochondrion. would i still get the mark?

Possibly not. They're picky like that. And on the mark scheme of June 2003 paper which is exactly the same question, they state mitochondrion.

Why did fewer mother cats lick their young? I said human intervention meant humans look after young, so no selective pressure

I said humans exert artificial selection to get certain traits e.g long tails, but these alleles are linked to alleles that code for non maternal behaviour. Then I also but that it didn't matter that they didn't behave in a non maternal way because humans do it for them.

In short, I thought the paper was horrible. Missed out about 60% when I first went through it. there were some questions that were simple but I wrote the opposite because I'm an idiot.
The Hb question, the deciduous forest question and the cats and inbreed (or whatever it was) seriously put me off. I just wrote random things.
Got the phenotype ratio wrong
Got the calculation for the length wrong 1.2 x 10 to the power of a really high number
wrong nucleus instead of mitochondria
Spent all night revising plant hormones and brain...nothing came up on it

Spent the majority of the exam praying that grade boundaries are low.

For some reason this made me laugh haha, even though I feel exactly the same -_- I'm sure it was nuclues :/ And yeah plant hormones and the brain I understood wanted tht to come up.

To be honest, the paper was decent, if you learnt the stuff you did good.
However the suggest questions were for A/A* candidates. Overall most people found it decent from what I've heard so grade boundaries will be standard, maybe higher than the Jan12?

Are you trying to scare us? It was a horrible paper i and most other people thought! I pray it's LOWER

does anyone actually remember what the wording for the scietific question was? Because I don't have a clue what everyone's on about, I think I completely overlooked it and missed it out. Don't even remember reading the question What was the rest of the part related to the question about?

The question was related to the scientific studies done on giant and red pandas in terms of protein molecules such as haemoglobin and cytochrome c.

Can't remember the wording though :P

OMG the picture of the striated muscle! for V I put sarcoplasm instead of myofibril FML.

[DoctorVertigo]

Yeah decidous question?

Hi otrivine

X and Y was a sarcomere

Ratio was 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

And I put innate, other people have put learned

I put 94, as I thought it was referring to the recessive epistasis on the first page (or was it?!)

i dont remember talking about mutation? you mean why mother cats reduced frequency?

i talked about everything on that

[ambrin ox]

Why?? why would they do this to us?!? , i felt like this thing was all about suggest this suggest that and less of the actual stuff we learnt in class

[dks.]

I thought that paper wasn't the easiest one that's ever been nor the hardest :/ hopefully the grade boundaries will be suitable!

[matt1107]

I put mycofibril instead of myofibril will they accept it?

Urgh I think I missed that bit out, i remember reading about the giant panda n stuff but why do I not remember reading about hb and cytochrome c?! i think I didn';t even read the question properly fml

I put the ratio as 94 because that's the ratio of recessive epistasis.

Did the exact same thing

[LiveOne]

Also, what the hell was that deciduous forest question? I honestly wondered whether I'd just missed out a massive chunk of the course or something. I put deciduous trees drop their leaves but the peat plants don't shed them, that's the only logical thing I could think of.

LOL humans lick cats

[Chris P Chicken.]

It was an OK, paper. I definitely got the D/C I was aiming for. Roll on PSYB4 and C4.
