Edexcel IAL Biology Unit 5 (WBI05) Scientific Article Discussion - June 2016

Guys, i feel like reading the article and keeping the Biology text book beside you for reference actually helps. Every time you come across any topic in the article that you've already learnt about in your text book, you can just stop there, and read that specific topic in the book and then continue with the article. In that way you're revising every topic where questions can be asked from. You wont feel like you're missing out on anything. Just to make sure you know and that you've revised all the topics mentioned in the article. :smile:

AND THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE SENDING PREDICTED QUESTIONS! :colondollar:

our teacher denied giving us any.

Almost exactly like what I do! I read a paragraph and underline any important word or phrase i've ever seen in AS or A2, then I open the book and look for possible explanations and make probable questions and get my teacher to read the paragraph to see if I've missed on any probable question!

Guys I said I'd give you the expected questions but the bio teacher still hasn't made the students write them yet...
Probably by next week then.

Aimen, in your notes you wrote "mRNA is made from DNA in nucleolus". why not just nucleus?
Also, it would be better to mention "complementary base pair rule" instead of writing "match". Just to impress the examiner. :wink:

I am doing Sat 2 this year, so my Biology Sat book says it's better to say nucleolus rather than nucleus. Anyway we could always write nuclues (the same thing tho!) And about that complementary base pair rule.. Thanks for correction 🙋

It;s IAL - International A-levels which are basically the same as normal a-levels but without practical experiments instead, they ask us to write a complete investigation in unit 6
