Yeah I completely agree with you! People say 'all the hard work will pay off' but I'm like mehhh I doubt that'll happen with me :redface: I completely screwed up on the AaBb question and the one where we had to draw 2 pairs of homologous chromosomes, but the first page of questions was fairly nice, and the essay questions were definitely the easiest. I answered the one about cloning plants :smile:
What did you put for the question about labelling the parts of the ovary? I wrote corpus luteum, primary oocyte and jelly coat but I'm really doubtful about those answers :s-smilie: I know about the zona pellucida but I'm not sure what it exactly is, but thinking about it now... 'jelly coat' sounds so stupid, I should've written zona pellucida :colondollar:


Yeah same! Not with WJEC biology it wont pay off anyway xD I hate the exam board so much after this! Sameee, I put AaBb for all 4 genotypes when I should have crossed them differently :frown: and the drawings were so bad... I don't think I got those right either D:
Yeah same, I did that essay too :smile:
umm... I put primary oocyte, Graafian follicle and corpus luteum.. I have no idea if Im right though xD I hate those diagrams! ah right, well Im sure WJEC have referred to it as a jelly coat in some marks schemes so you never know!

What kinda thing did you put for the natural selection in cod question? I'm pretty sure I was way too general.. I didn't know what phenotype in the cod it was talking about :frown:

For the cod question, I wrote that the size of the cod decreased because the smaller sized cod were better adapted to surviving the heavily fished area in comparison to the larger cod, because they are more likely to fit through the holes in fishing nets and trawlers. So, the smaller cod survived, bred and passed on the allele that codes for smaller sized cod. The different size in cod has arisen due to natural variation in the species :smile:

Hello!

I just started first year in Sixth form and I really want to do more individual study at home for my AS subjects, particularly Biology since the teacher isn't so great.

If any of you have any recommendations for books or websites, it would be very helpful!

Thank you! :smile:

Hi Kayla,Can you please split your part 2 of the old questions in two documents and post it, as I reallyyyyy need them:colondollar::confused:

Thanks,
Hi! 9 years later and im wondering if anyone has the wjec B14 24 jan 2006 mark scheme? or if anyone knows why photorespiration is bad? thanks.
