I personally thought it was an OK paper but still understand the anger of some as there was a lot of hit and miss questions.

Where you suppose to square root it??????????????


No. getting a big number doesn't mean its wrong. 'coz by following the formula u r not suppose to square root at the end.

Did anybody put B for the table question where they are geographically isolated?


The genetic drift one? Yes, because they had the biggest decrease in recessive alleles so the amount genetic variation had decreased, because increase in dominant allele frequency meant there was less genetic variation as all the individuals had similar genotypes

What did you lot put for the question on the plant moving towards the light and the girl covering her eyes with her face? I started talking about phototropin 1&2 enzymes, and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervoud divisions


With her face? :wink:

Isolation can occur in three forms: Mechanical, Behavioral, Seasonal. The questions spoke about cant reproduce therefore that is mechanical or no?


There was a bloody road separating them so geographical

My bad I meant to talk about the question comparing the S drug to the M drug, I talked about the receptor being the incorrect shape on the previous question


I said the m drug was a better fit to receptor

Such a bs exam

It was insight learning and not operant conditioning, OC is learning by reward and punishment whereas insight learning is using reasoning and judgement from past experiences


But surely the bin is a reward, so if the raccoon learns to push the bin lid off it is rewarded? Raccoons go through multiple bins each day, so they're repeatedly presented with a bin and they've learnt that if they interact with the bin, they're rewarded?

I was 50/50 on putting operant vs insight but put operant because they phrased it as "the raccoon learns to push the bin lid off"

C had the biggest decrease.
Were you meant to talk about mating not being random and small sample size for the 3 marker qs :frown: looooooool if no pelase break it gently :frown:
It didn't seem too dreadful, unit 4 was way harder so fingers crossed for low boundaries
Grade bounderies anyone?

Fairl y certain it was insight
For A, 20 animals were affected, for B it was 14, and for C it was 2... Surely the answer is A?
