Would you get the mark for saying its in a plasmid?

Nah, sadly I don't think that's correct.

It's circular DNA (rather than linear) and it's not associated with/wrapped around proteins (histones).

That's specification material, by the way.

For the phloem question I wrote that the vacuole helps transport of sugars as it pushes the chloroplast closer to the cell wall meaning more room for the sugars to be transported In the cytoplasm. Doesn't seem right looking back on it now - anyone put something similar?

Plz dw the grade boundaries r always low. For the lizards one it was fewer species of plants causes fewer species of insects because less food sources and habitats so lower diversity of lizards because thrs less insects and plants available to be eaten

thank you! I definitely think I will of got a D maybe even an E it went so bad and then I got really bad anxiety because I couldn't answered the question and therefore I will of done so bad
and no not that one I answered that one :smile:

the one where you had to read off a graph and state the variation between males and females ?

I got A G E :/

I said there was a large vacuole (and little cytoplasm) meaning there was a large room/space for transport. I think I'll get 1/2 for that question, personally.

I probably lost about 15 marks but that's that and AQA are dickheads.

I have chemistry tomorrow :colonhash:

It was a tough paper,you still would have gotten an A 😃.

Did the question on the sieve cells / companion cells say that you couldn't talk about the structures that were named by letters (the plasmodesmata)?

For the DNA question, I wrote prokaryote is not associated with histones, and it's supercoiled; is the latter worthy of a mark?

Question 10, the 8 marker on meiosis really threw me but other than that it was a good paper I thought

Why are you trying to screw everyone up, there was NO 8 marker on meiosis you turd XD

January 2014 (easier paper) they wanted 56, doubt it will be higher. 70 for full UMS does seem about right..
