2007 Unit 4 Exam Thoughts
munto:
No sorry I haven't seen it. Would like to get my hands on it though, give you guys my thoughts.
In regards to mtDNA, it does actually mutate at a slower rate than normal DNA either in non coding regions or in coding regions and the in the other part it mutates at a much faster rate than normal DNA. Can't remember which one though, but that is definetly the case. Very nitpicky question though...
I know some people at my school didn't finish and my old biol teacher said it was one of the harder exams he has seen (he used to be a marker, and teacher for approx 20 years)
Thats a bit silly that there wasn't much on hominid evolution. It's a friggin' area of study... So I assume it was heavily balanced to basic evolution and basic genetics... hmmm...
GOOD LUCK FOR THE RESULTS GUYS!
*also if you found any strategies that worked for you in your study, add it into the exam tips thread and if it is a good suggestion I'll add it to the first post :)
CONGRATULATIONS!
as my old biol teacher would say: "you have crossed over from year 12 biol to (hopefully) university biol"
lol. oh how so cheesy

Yeh, i think VCE biology is waking up to that, Unit 3 is refered to as "The molecules of life" and is starting to examine some of the chem behind bio, especially with the properties of water

there was also barely anything on protein synthesis / DNA ... copying (I've already forgotten the term) ....
EDIT: DNA replication :oops:
at my school, after each chapter we got a "blue sheet" with dot points of everything we needed to know, and I got together all my ref material and made summary notes based on the "blue sheet". after my exams I'll see if I can scan them up :)

And I managed to finish the whole exam!!!!
WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!
What did everybody else think?
