im not sure! it’s the sudan 3 test with the red emulsion at the top i’m pretty sure, but its depends what everyone else got. the placenta was so easy, i think the baby snacks on the placenta if the woman can’t get food by herself? kind of like how women eat their own placentas

uhm, im not sure if thats a test cause isnt that a country? anyways but i put the placenta is required because it os needed for the exchange of nutrients, transfer oxygen and removal of co2- i thought that question was pretty free though.

i think the extract was on nutrition and calcium in bones, so i said for the whale extinction question for 1b) i said that they had brittle bones disease and didn’t drink enough milk? i also thought they got hunted and also i thought about evolution but im not sure abt that one because i revised it only night before

Could you also have done the test where you add ethanol and shake then put it in water and if it goes cloudy it’s a lipid?

no I don’t think so😭 why would fats be in chemistry
for the question about the complementary bases, i got b for the first multiple choice for the mRNA, and then i got UGU-AUG-UUC.

what did you guys put on the mammoth question

negative -- that there is little genetic variation, reducing the gene pool
positive -- there are lots of organisms of the same species that increase population - increasing biodiversity

Wasn't the multiple choice the one with Thymine and not Uracil because it was the other helix strand- so it was DNA not RNA?

yep- didn't know how much detail to go into though! I didn't have much time so that was my only FOR point then my AGAINST point was that there is no evidence that the GM fish reduces spread of disease
