I put root cell? Would I get the mark..or?

I'm pretty sure it was a root hair cell...I don't think it would have been as obvious as the epidermal cell as that was in the question!

So glad I'm not the only one who found Higher Biology horrible. No chance of an A now 😩😰 Was it just me or did anyone think this paper was completely different from other past papers? There were so many problem solving questions?!

completely agree! section B was just problem solving after problem solving after problem solving. What were the recombinants in the recombinant question, think it was like q7. i completely forgot what that was

See for the diagram of meiosis, were we to fill in the two chromosomes or just one of them. I wrote the same in both of them haha. It didn't specify it just said fill in :frown:

For recombinants I ticked the middle two as well! The meiosis one was a complete guess, kept on scoring them out! :frown:

lets be positive...if everyone done badly then the boundaries willl get lowered. In the last few years its been like 71% for an A and those papers werent even bad so hopefully itll go down a few %
