Sure.

I will not, and will never, get mono/dihybrid crosses.

*prays for an essay on protein synthesis*

I don't think you need to know much if anything on mono/dihybrid crosses for Human biology but for AH level it will probably dealt with fairly thoroughly. Really hope protein synthesis will be an essay too, it's one of the easiest subjects to talk about.

By the way what's the difference between deindividualisation and deindividuation?

Err, no idea about Deinvidualisation but Deinviduation is bascially the loss of personal identity in a group (think of an angry mob).

And yeah, but luckily I'm not doing AH :h:

. If I don't get into uni, I'll be doing HNC Applied Science/Biomedical Science, which involves Biochemistry, Anatomy (year 2 uni level! :eek3), microbiology, pharmacological studies, physiology, chemistry, cell biology, DNA studies, statistics (basically AH Stats), lab work and a huge ass research project.

No genetics, however :colone:

The reason i asked was that the marking scheme for last years extended response said deinviduation and specifically said not deinvidualisation

I don't remember covering it. It's probably outwith the syllabus and/or a spelling mistake, hence why it's a negate in the marking scheme.

If you have no idea on respiration simply put:

The body goes, "I want to respirate" and the brain goes "Ok!"

I actually laughed out loud. :top:

..What essays does everyone think/hope will come up? Any predictions?

I have a feeling that temperature regulation will come up. Maybe that's just cos the head of biology's in the SQA and put it in our prelim :p:

I hate the nitrogen cycle. :frown:

I managed to get through SG Biology and Chemistry without learning it, it's about time I actually learnt it now!

I wish you could take the question booklet out of the exam like you can for other subjects but you have to write in it! Then we could check multiple choice.

This! I'm going to ask for an extra copy at the end.

Has anyone ever heard about people taking their exam scripts out at the end of the exam to show their teachers? I've seen it on here a few times.
