Oh yeah so everyone thinks nitrogen cycle will come up but what will the other 6 marker be? It could be about natural selection??


Thermoregulation maybe. Could be something to do with evolution/speciation too

Look at the six marketing wrote before. The six marker isn't about the whole nitrogen cycle but the bacteria in the nitrogen cycle instead
Second six marker in a nutshell:

1. Variation in species.
2. Overpopulation. Overproduction of offspring.
3. Struggle for existence. Environment not enough resources.
4.Survival (people with advantageous characteristics more likely to survive) competition with limited resources.
5. Will pass advantageous characteristics to offspring
6. Gradual change. Eventually ones without advantageous characteristics die out.
What did you write for sickle cel anaemia and malaria question?
I'm confident with how I've done, think I got an A*, the paper was a dream apart from a few iffy questions. I found the layout / setup overall of the paper was alot different to past papers!

What do you mean about layout? And how did you answer sick cell and malaria question?

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

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