For that question, I wrote that there was no restriction enzyme that had the required recognition sequence that would allow for proper differentiation between the two... how does that sound?

For slow burial i did exposure to animals and scavangers as only parts of the organism will be buried at one time, other parts will be partially open for scavenging. Thus "partial" fossilization will occur. Then the next question i did low ozygen levels and thus, lack of scavenegers and decomposers causes easier fossilization.

We're only human ;P Making mistakes is natural. If you never made mistakes, you might as well be a computer.

In regards to your question... I talked about Stratigraphy (Position of Superposition) and how that could be used to gain the relative age of the hominin fossil (e.g. oldest stratum situated at the bottom, progressively younger strata lie above it). I also talked about the Principle of Correlation (Which was a mistake, I should've talked about Radiometric dating...)

I guess my answer didn't really answer that question huh

I told myself I wasn't gonna come here to see what everyone thought of the exam.
I clear have no self restraint.
Glad the general consensus is that it was an easy but stupidly ambiguous exam

For the last question is 'hard parts of organism' an answer? And for the question before it i just said slow burial of sediments which isnt ideal for fossilization and didn't explain further is that still worth a mark  :)

I had possession of hard parts/structures as well. Not sure if it was a factor that would fit into the diagram but let's hope it works hey? hahaha
I think you had to mention WHY it wasn't ideal (So stuff like decomposing easier or eaten by scavengers) to get the one mark.
Don't hold me to that though.

PS. Still raging with the stupid RNA polymerase question and stupid OLWS allele/gene

Sorry for the delay guys! I know everyone is really keen to see our version of the solutions - rest assured we are working on them but have been very busy with other things and haven't quite been able to finish them according to schedule.
