Confused, how is it 8 amino acids?
Wasn't there a start codon (TAC), 7 amino acids and then a stop codon (ATT)

the start codon also adds an amino acid,making it 8

[Gromekk]

also does thylakoid membrane = granum (for that light dependent reactions question)

i wouldnt think so, since a granum is a stack of thylakoids, not thylakoid membranes

[Gromekk]

honestly i have no idea anymore, i thought i knew but they all have too many names lol

what did you guys put down for the very last question?

[mrturtle125]

it is out of Africa theory but how the heck do you use the evidence to explain it?

[Yacoubb]

what did you guys put down for the very last question?

From what I've looked at:

Route: Africa --> Middle East --> East Asia --> Australia
Timing: approximately 20 000 years (not 100% sure of this though)

Just bringing my background knowledge into this, aboriginal australians existed around 45,000 years ago didn't they, so wouldn't it be more accurate to say withing the last 80,000 years?

I said 30,000 to 80,000 years ago (I had no idea what to do)

Dw I couldnt remember the other so I put out of africa. Its probably multi regional now that I think about it ._.

It should be out of Africa. If it was multinational then African population would have Neanderthal DNA, which they don't.

Oh that's true, I guess it might just depend on our justification in the end if both answers are accepted

I'll take anything above 40 as a study score. I made so many stupid mistakes on the exam so pretty sure I got 93-96/110. If the A+ cutoff is like 88 then that should be like a 42/43

[_inspire45]

Yeah me too! People say this year's A+ cut off will be around 86-90/110

Please advise ?
If my sac scores range between High A to Low-mid A+ (according to 2014 scaling) and i get around 94-97/110 for exam this year, do you guys think I can get anything above 40?

You all nervous? 3 days left...

Thanks!

That would definitely be above 40. Probably like 42. I'm predicting that I got 94/110. So dissapointed

[Biology24123]

Anyone nervous for the results. I'll take anything above 40

[_inspire45]

Same
Especially after I saw all the exam solutions...

I would be REALLY happy if i get 40+
