That design an experiment question was so weird and unlike any others I'd seen before!

And I kind of ran out of time, the graph was weird cause I decided not to use a proper scale.
so guys lets start the discussion?
I dont know what ive done so i need this to get started fast:s-smilie:

I wrote that oviducts are used in menstruation and if we remove it or cut whatever the woman will have no menstrual cycle

I wrote because the oviducts are less accessible, and that you have to cut two oviducts but only 1 sperm duct so the operation would take longer for females.

There wasn't a question like that? Do you mean the dogs having the recessive alleles for that border collie disease?

I don't think oviducts are used in menstruation, you may be getting confused with the uterus. I said that the vas deferens is a smaller tube and that it is easier to do surgery (probably cheaper too) and the oviduct is much larger which may make the surgery dangerous and lead to complications. I don't know.

I wish the grade boundaries are really low as i think everyone messed up in this paper now i better bring a 50 in paper 2 or more btw is it possible to get 55 in paper 2?
By the way there are two sperm ducts not just one (two tests remember ?)

anything is possible :wink:
I seriously messed up the graph though. I drew a line graph instead of a bar chart, don't know how many marks id get for that
I did the same thing (line graph) instead of a bar. I was told you'd only lose 1 mark for that (after the exam)
