m.. actually
ANOTHER FUCKING AMBIGOUS QUESTION
 - is OLWS THE GENE OR THE ALLELE

WTF??

FUCKING VCAA FUCKING WORST PROOFREADING FUCKING QU ESTION 1 WTF

FUCKING FUCK EVIDENCE FOR HOMININ?


so true they are mentally retarded they even did spelling mistakes in the prompts for english lol -.-


WTF
THEY PHRASED IT LIKE RETARDS

TO YOU NEED TO DO AGE AND RELATEDNESS WITH EACH, OR ONE FOR EACH

i did comparative anatomy and i put carbon- 14 and potassium argon
i also said depending on how old hominin is

[Kaylain]

Uhm I don't think protein analysis would have worked because we're the only hominins that still exist and I don't think we can get hold of extinct hominin proteins

it said early hominin so prob older than 2mil years

[ezye21]

yer thats why the couldnt get any DNA from older homonin species to do DNA anaylisis so anything to do with protiens / DNA was wrong only like fossils, comparative anatomy and stuff like that could be stated

[Charmz]

it didn't matter if it was homozygous recessive or if it was homozygous dominant with the owls question because both would be the same if you drew up a punnet square but that question was a piece of shit!

[Panicmode]

was OWLS dominant or recessive?

It had to be recessive. Memebers affected by it were unable to come to term. Therefore, for the mother to be heterozygous it must be recessive.


For the hominin question I did one about radiometric dating of the strata where the fossil was found and one about comparative anatomy.

i agree it was ressesive

What did everyone get for Q18 of the MC?

I put A because it said M1 and M2 both produced equal amounts of whatever it was but I wasn't entirely sure...

And Bazza16, I completely agree with you. I'm so pissed off at VCAA as well... can they not think of harder questions WITHOUT making them so ambiguous? What did you put for question 1?

Oh and look up wikipedia for OLWS... it says it's both dominant and recessive... WTF?

[ezye21]

was there a translocation in the chromosomes of the flies ? or was it that chromosomes 'fused' or will both translocation and chromosomal fusion be accepted

I said translocation and then went on to explain that it was the chromosomes fusing together.

Q 1 i put c and Q 18 i put A

it was B because each M1 and M2 produced equal amounts so when they were together it was double than when they were homozygous

It would totally suck if it was both dominant and recessive. Can't think of many people who'd get it right if it was.

Does that mean only heterozygotes survive? Huhh?
