lets all get pumped!

[bar0029]

VNers this is our time to shine,
time to show the assessors what we really are made of
time to get those top 10% of the state scores
we are the ones that put all our effort in
we have achieved everything we have done so far
goodluck tomorrow
you've worked hard, we deserve to get the best out of tomorrow
just remember, while you're writing away tomorrow,
and you're thinking oh i wish i was the smartest person in the class..
well guess what you are!!!!!!!!!!!!
because phenotype = genotype x environment
and your environment has been biology all semester long *corny*

GOODLUCK! :smitten:

LOL

[Russ]

Someone see if they can grab a spare copy of the paper, I'm curious to see it

[thushan]

LOL Russ. All I know is that it's 25 pages long
Imagine if it were as long (in terms of content) as mid year!?

[golden]

Would you expect that there would be a question about designing an experiment? What's the best way to approach questions like these?

[Russ]

I'm counting on you now

I don't think it'll be as laborious as the mid year, I think they'll put an emphasis on biological reasoning. But knowing them, it'll end up being 90% regurgitation of facts (I jinxed it).

If you have to design an experiment, just make sure you clearly state your hypothesis and how your design will test it. So if your hypothesis that a gene is in a certain, state that you'll be using restriction enzymes to check etc.

bio is easy you can lose like 10-15 marks and still get A+... i mean what other subject allows that?

[Russ]

That means it's harder, because there are less people getting high marks...

(ie renaissance or classics, where getting full marks on the exam + full marks on sacs and you can still get less than 50)

[thushan]

Really? Then how do they distinguish who gets 50 and who doesn't?

[masonnnn]

we go through designing an experiment in unit 3, while i suppose it's assumed knowledge it isn't really part of unit 4 so if they did it'd be cruel and if it were more than a 1 mark then...riots would result.

and

i have done too much bio revision, as bar said VNers time to shine, let's kill it. goodluck allz.

Thats touching... in a sciency kind of way

With hard questions

[thushan]

I meant for Classics: where 100% in SACs and exam doesn't guarantee a 50

On a few VCAA exams there have been questions relating with experiments, worth 3 marks.

[Russ]

GAT marks apparently.

[golden]

If the question states name the trait is codominant, would the alleles be labelled for example I^B as opposed to B? Or does the definition of an allele fit that it would be named B?
