nvm! i just realised it was the pedigree question :)

what do you think an ~80 ish mark would scale to in this exam? the exam wasn't too bad but i think i missed out on quite a bit of small marks

I forgot to draw in a punnet square in my explanation for the characteristic of inheritance question (pretty sure this was q 28), am I going to lose a lot of marks?

I don't remember it saying "show your working'... So, if you explained why it was sex-linked recessive by referring to the genotypes of certain individuals and all. You'll be fine! :)

Marks can't align down so I doubt it'd be in the 90s

Plus it wasn't THAT easy because the crossing over one was hard, 8 marker may have tricked people, and a couple tricky MC
