Where is the hitler video? Why is not trending? Where is the petition? :frown:
For the question about the diameter of the bronchioles, did anyone write smooth muscle contracts to constrict the airway?? Or was the question asking what the drug does to the airway to stop the effects of asthma?? Ahhh

I literally guessed all of the answers, how is it fair to ask about AS when that isn't on the f215 spec??


The paper is synoptic...
Dear OCR
Can you please tell me how the FUC¥ you would like us to Answer your ****t¥ open questions!?

Alternatively I we could just continue to write Bloody essays to gain 3 marks be cause WE DONT KNOW WHAT of the 9 possible answers to every question you would PrEFeRE!!!!
I hate you so much you are possibly the ****ty .... Est exam board in the whole of the UK if not the universe!
did anyone put nicotine was a selective advantage?
my thought process was
-more nicotine produced so used more resources so less seeds produced
-therefore plant passes less of their alleles for susceptibility to insects to their offspring
-plants that produce less nicotine and therefore more seeds pass on their alleles for insect resistance?

Ikr. I don't want to retake this stupid paper because it will be worse next year

Yeah exactly! They are just gonna get worse

I said elastic tissue is less flexible (something to that effect) and smooth muscle contracts to reduce the size of the lumen.

That exam was worse than seeing John Snow get stabbed to death in GoT
What did you guys write for the question on the somatic gene therapy with the S drug (don't remember its name) being less effective? I talked about the immune system developing a resistance, something to that effect

did anybody write geographical isolation (i.e allopatric speciation) for one of the question, and
Genetic drift for the very next question?


I wrote exactly the same but really wasn't sure about genetic drift. It was a wild guess by that point haha

mentioned dis- less seeds
and adv- defense mechanism against insects


Damn, put B as it was a bigger population than C and still quite a lot of genetic drift.....

It went downhill from the first question. I don't even know how to describe the paper. It was never ending and each question got even more stupid and un-doable.


I Got stuck on the first question...

Exactly what I did but I got 36.... Did that mean you accepted or rejected the hypothesis though?


You reject i think, you only accept when it is smaller than 11.35.I thinkBut it was 1400 something.

Whaah? Isnt this the mutation question

It would be less effective because the receptor (a protein) has the incorrect shape due to mutation

Did anyone get 1400 something for the chi squared shizz
