VCE Biology Question Thread

ok so for the drawings (the pedigree, antibody, etc) i drew them in pencil even though you're meant to use pen for short answer.. do you think that will be alright? I know its bc they scan it and pencil is sometimes faint, but it was an hb pencil so it was pretty dark  ?? idk they'd still be able to read it right? im stressin a bit

I did the same thing with the genetic cross  table, I used pencil for the lines of the actual table but it was pretty dark, so idk if it will get scanned properly, even if it doesn't come out right it should be alright I guess

yeah i mean even if it comes up a bit fainter, im sure they'd still be able to see most of it. we're probably stressing too much haha

Crap talking about pencils I actually forgot to use my pen and used my pencil throughout the whole exam. But it is definitely not faint. It should be picked up by the scanner right?

Yea lol, my teacher said using pencils would result in fainter lines and if they really need to will go back and look at the actual paper.

It's a pain in the arse for them, but if they can't see it they will check.

Hi couldn't exactly find anywhere to post this but from today's exam there was a question that annoyed me so much. it was multiple choice 38, and I'm pretty sure the answer could been a or d I mean they didn't account for wild dogs it said nothing explicitly about domestic dogs. is there any chance VCAA would accept both answers or am I getting my hopes up haha

I discussed this question with my teacher immediately after the exam and the answer is D.

Where did you get this from?

I am very angry that there were no photosynthesis and respiration questions. What was the point in even learning them this year?

I second this. Although cellular respiration was touched on.

There was one multiple choice on it I think. Same with photosynthesis.

Can someone please explain why the answer to this question is A not B?

because its referring to the founder effect which is heavily due to migration
