What would I write for a 6 marker about GM? Good luck everyone!

Stuff like:
Advantages:
Increases yield
Decreases possibility of spread of disease
Cheaper
Can be grown throughout the year
Can be grown in countries despite the climate.
No need to use pesticides etc, which can damage environment

Disadvantages:
Costly
Bacteria could become resistant
Could destroy food chains
Unsure of long term effects

etc etc

But of course develop them into full sentences and do +-+-+-+-+- Conclusion.

Thanks, and most probably it'll tell you in the question. There was one like this about corn or maize plants and bacielius furenfipvkmswpb (something like that :smile:

) back along. I'll just get you the link..... But it almost always says in the question. :smile:

Good luck to you too!

Question 9. I thought it was that, not exactly the question I remembered, but still linked. As of course in B1/2/3 you are told how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, its the same thing

I just hope the bio test tomorrow is better than the english lang I had a few weeks ago, and the religion I had today. I think I'm gonna fail them both, even tho I got A* and A in the mocks

But isnt Question 8 asking to explain the steps of the actual genetic modification process, rather than how gm would help the crop?

They could turn that into a 5 or a 6 marker... maybe
