Hey guys
Can someone pls explain how I would structure my answer for this question
Thanks
It's a six marker, so it requires you to have an extensive knowledge behind the reproductive techniques and genetic diversity. So, to help us break down the six marks, we need to locate appropriate and relevant information and then break these information down into its components.
So, breaking down the marks can look something like this:
1 mark -- briefly outlines what modern reproductive techniques are and how they can limit genetic diversity.
2 marks -- identifies and discusses the use of modern reproductive techniques in animals. (I would probably choose 4, but mingled with plants)
2 marks -- identifies and discusses the use of modern reproductive techniques in plants. (I would probably choose 4, but mingled with animals)
1 mark -- sustains a logical response / terminology.
Some more pointers:
Here are the list of
possible reproductive techniques you can talk about.
TechniquesArtificial insemination
Artificial pollination
Cloning
Transgenic species
ExamplesBt cotton
GloWorm fish
Transgenic salmon
Dolly (through Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer)
If you need, I can provide you a sample answer that I may have written and I'll walk you through
why I did it.
