Is the term "genetically identical" ok to use, because my teacher barely came in so I don't have any model answers. Is anyone knows any please share?
oh no oh no oh no, so unprepared. only topic I've fully revised is animal survival.

Yeah, don't worry :smile: I didn't revise fully anything, just wee chunks and I plan to get a 1 or 2 :biggrin: :cool:

Only began revision today (well yesterday) and I got to topic 2 but then decided to do a past paper instead. Passed it and realised I didn't need to do much studying. I'll probably look over some plant things now thanks to my messed up sleeping pattern.

oh my days :smile: you don't know how good it feels to know i'm not the only one who isn't properly prepared. This is the only exam i'm stressed over, done quick revision over every topic today, but still weak on inheritance/biotechnology... eek hope they make this exam straightforward :| My sleeping pattern is messed up also, but it's too late to change that, I'm going to finish my past papers then do some light revision in the morning. All the best to you all.
Yes, pretty unprepared but the problem solving questions are usually straightforward and bring my marks up, well here's hoping! Haha good luck to everyone :smile: who knows why I'm still awake.. Gonna go and try sleep!
It was fairly easy. This was the easiest exam I sat tbh.
But there were a few questions that I had to guess because I had no idea what to write.

Like in the Credit one: "What is the general name for sex cells in plants and animals?" or something like that... What was the answer?
I've put "reproductive" but it was a pure guess.

I also stuck at the fermentation question. What else is produced other than alcohol... And it was methane :s-smilie: I wrote carbohydrate and someone in my class wrote cheese :biggrin: Lol

Also the enzyme and sewage questions. I didn't have any idea what to write.

That wasn't really a bad paper.
Just hope I wasn't too vague on questions when I didn't really know what to write. As usual, the PS was generous. The opening half of the Credit paper's KU questions I thought were very good, I seemed to slow down a bit in the middle of the paper but the KU questions at the end were fine which was good.
Fingers crossed for a 1 and hopefully everyone did well :smile:

The answer I wrote for that qs was Gametes.
yeap it went pretty well. I agree that in the credit some question were worded unusually but oh well :smile:

The name for the cells i think was gametes. It was not too bad i think there were some quite difficult ones though:smile:

I'm pretty sure it would be a 2. :smile:

It wasn't too bad. Hoping for a 1 but definitely a 2.
I have to say that was pretty easy. Grade 1 no doubt methinks. The one question I did not answer was what they call the name for animals migrating at different periods of time. (Or something like that.)
I thought that went really well. Credit Bio was slightly easier than credit chem

If I'm thinking of the right question isn't that rhythmical behaviour?

I found this really hard O.o harder than chemistry by far. The question which annoyed me most was the 'how is urea transported to the kidneys' what was the answer? as for the sex cell one, its definitely gametes.
Still hoping i got myself a 2 though :smile:
