    In 8bii they say 'the diagram only shows part of the gel' - doesnt this mean that in 8biii the reason why only one band is seen could be either:
    a) the two L fragments are the same length or
    b) the other L fragment was very small and since only part of the gel is shown, the fragment could have travelled lower than the area shown. ?
    actually, yeah that sounds right, i only skim read it the second time around
    hopefully they'll accept both answers then since both could be the right explanation

    I'm glad it's off use to you
    It's odd that your exam timetable says 1 hour and 50 minutes, you need to get that checked. You have to do an essay for this exam and the time should be 2 hours and 15 minutes.
