These are just the topics that didn't come up on Paper 1. It's best to go through these but also the bold topics on the spec.

Good luck!

it's usually 135/180 to get an A* but the past twice it's been 131 i think (but i would aim for 135 just to be on the safe side). I think i got 90 ish on the paper 1 so i'm aiming for 50/60 on paper 2! i would definitely aim for 45+

When neither allele is recessive, therefore characteristics from both dominant alleles are in the phenotype.

Does the brain or the kidney control blood water content? It is controlled by the brain but it happens in the kidney.

I put kidney, pretty sure that's what they were looking for. Best not to overthink these things
