I'm also doing all the unit 2 sciences. Instead of psychology I'm doing M2. Its fun.

How is biodiversity measured anyone?


Within a given area such a habitat species richness is considered. The number of different species within a given area in a community at a given time.
Within a species it is measured by genetic diversity. The number if different alleles in a gene pool of a population.

you only need to know about totipotent and pluripotent stem cells.

multipotent stem cells can develop into many cells, except a few such as extra-embryonic cells, blood cells, etc

i want to check with u:
pluripotent can gv rise to most cell types and totipotent to all cell types...
ok now cells in a human body are pluripotent besides liver cells?
and embryonic cells are totipotent ryt?
I hate this section tbh....so check it for me :biggrin:

yes and yes
Nope, human body cells are differentiated apart from pluripotent stem cells found in places such as bone marrow
yes

ok gv me 3 ethics related to stem cells...
and for e.g if they asked us why we can't replace a damaged liver using stem cell? its possible ryt? maybe coz of ethics and possible rejection/cancer ?

theres the issue of cloning, misuse of stem cells, the idea that most embyonic stem cells occur due to IVF, they can't give concent to research, they will get discarded if not used and their right to life removed

risk of rejection, mutations, difficult to specialise cells, surgical risks


oh those, my friend got one from waterstones, you could try there? but do think it'll be worth it since the exam is in under a week.


Amazon , Ebay , Waterstones , WHSmith .

Edit : Just realised you meant electronic copy.

thanks man! i thnk we almost covered everything regarding stem cells, isn't it?
one more question...what is cloning?

Do you guys think that its gonna be as awful as unit 1? or nice cause unit 1 was hard?

This book is amazing! has all the key words you need in an exam in bold I love it..though people have told me its too basic. I like it cause its perfect for exam revision. Last year when I sat it I just revised from the biology textbook and only got a B! a fried learnt the whole of this and its is miles smaller and got an A
