Biol10005 MST practice question help

[LeviLamp]

Hopefully the exam is easier to make up for it! Still can't bring myself to look, haha, if someone could check 638705 for me I'd be greatly appreciative.

7.5/10, well done, a fair whack above the average (6/10)

[LeviLamp]

thank you so much <3
I CAN STILL GET A 90 FOR BIOLOGY
my pracs have been going a little better than last semester, let's hope my assignment turns out to be a good one

[hobbitle]

I think I'll drop about 2% on pracs.  4% on the MST, ouch.  If I do well in the assignment I have a chance for 90 but it's slim! 

[LeviLamp]

2.5% on the MST, 2.5% on pracs (hopefully), 2.5% on the assignment? Hopefully I lose next to nothing on the assignment or the pracs :s But a 90's still possible if I lose 7.5%, I only need 95% on the exam, and I'm determined to make sure my semester result doesn't end up below 42.5/50.
Good luck with the exam for you, too I have a sneaking suspicion the exam might be a little easier than normal to make up for that dreadful test.

Cheese and whiskers! At least I scored above average? Not that scoring above an average of 5.6 is especially to my credit. :/

Just been doing some revision... got most of Dawn's lectures all refreshed and memorized now but omg how mental is the amount of content in her final Lecture 16.....

[LeviLamp]

Amount of content I know on the practice exam is probably about 30% 

[hobbitle]

the practice exam is pretty hard as well, i feel like i know nothing of protists and fungi :/

I'm not even going to look at it until I've solidly studied up to Lecture 27 or whatever we're up to.

Hey guys. Q about polygenes.

Can the term 'polygenic' only be attributed to continuous distribution of phenotypes; and the word 'multifactorial' only attributed to discreet distribution of phenotypes?  Or are they both polygenic and/or multifactorial?

Also does anyone know if we have to learn the Genetic Code table of codons/amino acids?

Haha no way!
AUG is a good one to know though and maybe if you're keen the three stop codons

Cool man, just checking.  Sweet.

So I tallied up the marks from the practice exam, and it looks like Dawn's component is slightly less than 50%, and Rick and Theresa have about 25% each. Hopefully it stays that way on the real exam, but it seems like a fair division of content to me.
