why do u hate it. isn't it usually just some numbercrunching and knowing definitions. i think application of genetics is far more harder

I don't mind variation and evolution all it involves is speciation as natural selection just memorise the process and can repeat it for any question. Worst is defo plant reproduction. I like the applications of genetics tbh. Pure inheritance is awful its all just nonsense to me how can a letter decide if you have green eyes UGH.

them dodgy inheritance 2 markers that be asking for the most obscure bs ever. the only saving grace for the inheritance topic are the crosses and chi squared test.

LMAO I just pray on the stats test. the best ones ever are when its 3 marks to calculate it AND THEN another 4 to analyse it with a critical value!!

It was a weird paper but yeah I think I got the maths one there was loads of conclusions from data questions as well. The 9 marker was alright.
