i put weight and activity level, usually theres a few options you can write on the markscheme and that answer seems mot fitting 👍

Was the crops question 6 marker just about potoatos or could you also talk about golden rice

it asked to talk about crops in general so i assume that would probably be fine because all gm crops use similar processes 👍

Basically a description of how negative feedback works (level too low, hormone produced, level becomes normal, then too high , another hormone produced , level becomes normal, and so on.

if i want an 8-8 what is the average i need over all papers

last year 8-8 was 255 so 45 per paper is probably a safe bet

I wrote about higher yield, higher nutritional content, and disease resistance is that ok?
