pretty shore each allele produced the same amount

[ezye21]

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

Does that mean only heterozygotes survive? Huhh?

omg really wow stupid VCAA

[jane1234]

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?

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

But if you had two copies of the allele then you should produce double the amount? So M1M1 = M1M2 because M1=M2... I think

please we need suggested answers ! -.- preferably by a person who got 50 last year lol

i agree

[simpak]

Omg self incompatibility how exciting.

[jane1234]

hopefully 25 MC 44-45 SA and i can squeeze in for a 50 :\

Haha with a 70 on the midyear I'm sure you'll be able to do it...

[Greatness]

Lol at VCAA they fail so bad, there was a script error in chem mid year and spelt the name of a character wrong on the question of my text yesterday....
Don't get too bogged down by those ambiguous quesitons, if you guys found it hard then most of the state will so it may work out in the end!
Stop stressing and start studying for your other exams if you have them, otherwise just chill

[impossible.is.nothing]

QUESTIONS 16,  17, 19, 20, 23 AND 24 ON THE MC WHAT DID YOU'S PUT?
im soo doomed.. worst exam ever !!! last years was so much easier!

Well the question said homozygous for OLWS, and there is only 1 out of 4 combinations that is homozygous for OLWS, so it wouldn't matter if it was dominant or recessive

[Charmz]

Maybe I should do biol again next year since i don't have a 5th subject and I did so crap on this exam!

It is actually 1/2 chance the foal will die because it's both dominant and recessive!

[lilmamba17]

stem cell mcq was C - can be extracted from 2-4 cell embryo right?

also that question on olws was terrible, lol they are gonna have fun trying to set the marking scheme

[jane1234]

what a ridiculous exam

, maybe they should just have left all the questions blank - wouldn't be any more ambiguous for some of the questions

Did you call/email VCAA?

[nubs]

IF OWLS IS A GENE - IT IS 1/2

IF OWLS IS AN ALLELE - IT IS 1/4

FUCKING

FUCKING


DOES NOT INDICATE THOSE PIECE OF SHIT

What? OLWS couldn't have been a gene... it was a condition/disease.. and it wouldn't have mattered if the condition was recessive or dominant, cause you would have gotten the same outcome answer
unless im missing something pretty big..
