was that on the page where you had to fill a table?
Hmm.. I can't remember but it was the very first question on a LEFT page.

For the MC question with the graph of the freq. of alleles, was the answer that the allele came from gene flow or something? (i thinkkkk it was option C?)

And then with MC question with cytokines was the answer A with the inflammation?

yeah I think I put C for the allele frequency q? i think it was like 'the appearance of this allele in the 3rd generation could be due to gene flow' or smth i can't remember HAHA

ahhh I can't remember the cytokine question, sorry :/

Isn’t the conversion of pyruvate into lactic acid anaerobic respiration though?? And I’m 99 precent sure ATP is produced in anaerobic respiration ?
Yeah, the answer was D, the one about NADH being made and used. The ATP yield from anaerobic respiration comes from glycolysis which was further up the pathway.

I said the same thing.

It was the one after the human cell apoptosis question in MC? (aha sorry idk how to quote like y'all do, i'm new :) )

1 mark for stating it was an epidemic. 2nd mark for explaining why it is an epidemic and comparing it to why it wasn't a pandemic.

the reason why i think is because the person flying to papau new guinea or fiji (forgot the place) must have came from another population who does already have the measle virus. plus australia already have vaccinated the kids a year before it got introduced there. thats what i tihnk anyway

I'm actually pretty sure it was an epidemic (sorry if i'm wrong) but from what i could gather from the article was that the outbreak was isolated to that area. The article was then going on to describe vaccination programs and made a comparison to the Australian vaccination programs as a separate point?? At least that's what i remember from the article but i could have defs read it wrong

it was an epidemic. I say this because the article title was specifically about Samoa. If it mentioned all of Asia-Pacific then quite rightly it would be a pandemic however it focussed specifically on Samoa, drawing on comparisons to Australia and herd immunity etc.

yeah that’s what i was thinking also - becyase yes measles does exist worldwide (but i don’t think it’s considered a pandemic) but the particular outbreak referred to in the article was contained to samoa or whatever country it was, therefore it was an outbreak of measles in a localised area. idk totally could be wrong but that was my train of thought
