Post Exam Discussion

No joke I was staring at that meiosis diagram for a good 10 minutes
The gene cloning mcq, was it because bacteria undergo mitosis exponentially?

The linked genes question took me ages, I ended up drawing a corss and wrote one line of justification hope its enough haha

Bacteria don't undergo mitosis

I also said bacteria undergo mitosis exponentially

Yeah.. honestly found this year's exam much harder than the 2013 and 2014 one.

Lucky you, I found 2014 so so easy, and this years, well, awful to be honest. I don't know if the exam was necessarily that much harder, but 2014 kind of played to my strengths, if you will, whereas this exposed my weaknesses.

what gametes did you guys write for the linked genes question? the crossing over and non-crossing over?

i put the left but apparently it's the middle

[julijulib]

i did the middle one but guessed it, but i was referring to the table question where you had to put crossed over gametes and non crossed over gametes. did anyone else only have two gametes for the crossing over? far out i know i did this one wrong i had absolutelty no idea..

i just swapped the top and bottom to get the other two combinations? idk if that's right

Yep that's right

[julijulib]

wait did you write them as the bb/aa or what? damn i thought they were meant to be like just gametes like aa or bb ? omg...

I did like B/r and b/R or whatever it was and then r/B and R/b so yeah i think you had to write them with the linked notation

[Biology24123]

No you don't have the lines for gametes

[julijulib]

No you don't have the lines for gametes

seriously?! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lmnop]

I drew the gametes instead, would that suffice?

[julijulib]

can't remember if it strictly asked for the genotypes but if not that sounds good

[warya]

It said crossing over didnt occur so I put Br Br br br
and if it did occur then bR Br bR Br

Bacteria dont undergo mitosis omg that was so stupid of me hahaha

Didn't it ask for the gametes

[sayy11]

What did everyone write for the first question on aggregates?

[sayy11]

It said crossing over didnt occur so I put Br Br br br
and if it did occur then bR Br bR Br

Bacteria dont undergo mitosis omg that was so stupid of me hahaha

Wrote that too, couldn't figure out the evidence for the genotype though on the next question
