What did everyone put for the animal indicator? I put lichen and that it determines level of sulphur dioxide in the air but apparently a lichen is a fungus and not an animal... Would I still get either of the marks?


Same

for the making the mosquitoes genetically modified:

The useful gene is cut out using enzymes and then inserted into the male mosquito at an early stage of development. The new gene will continue to develop as the mosquito grows??


Um basically yes I don't think you need the last sentence. I wrote a bit at the end how the gene will be expressed if dominant which I didn't need eithrt

0.67% I'm pretty sure


me being an idiot multiplied it by 100 again!
For the one about the boys and girls drinking alcohol, it specifically said to compare the type of alcoholic drink but people are saying they compared how much boys drank compared to girls? Did anyone just say that wine is the least consumed drink, beer,cider and larger were the most, and the others had a similar average?

That's what I put! The removal of the useful gene is gene splicing right?

do not trust anyone on here all their b1 predictions were wrong
I think it was about variation and natural selection. Are you talking about the 4 mark question?

I'm relatively sure it mentioned boys and girls in the question?

There is no dominant gene, it's dominant allele. I'm afraid you might lose mark for talking about dominant

What question was on about that?

nothing on the spec :smile:
All I know is that if we get the same style of exams like this for our Chem and Phy, where they don't even mention any main topics and give stupidly worded questions. We are f**ked

Yeah. I think the answer was just 6% since it would have made more sense when we looked at the two numbers of people that had malaria and those that died


2X10^6/3X10^8 X100 is 0.67%
