Didn't it say that people with sickle cell disease were less likely to get malaria not that they were immune?

hi guys how did you find the exam and do you have any predictions about this year's chemistry exam (6 markers)

such as the one marker asking what a plant needs to grow, it was different from anything I've seen.

& I know this was the question I didn't get full marks in, but I basically said if you contract sickle cell disease you are resistant to malaria & wrote some stuff about passing on the allele. I highly doubt I got more than 2 marks in this question it was highly confusing

I put people are more vulnerable to get malaria if they have sickle cell disease

I found the malaria question quite easy tho, it came up on the 2014? not sure but yea but the diabetes 2 question omg :angry:

what did you thought about the last 6 mark question? :smile:

I know the malaria one wason the 2014 paper but we were talking about the sickle cell and malaria question.

Im not sure about that but fingers crossed, however i think i did really good in this paper and i believe that there were a lot of 4 and 3 mark question which was unusual
