Your Thoughts On Biology 2010 Exam 2

[narr]

What was the one mark question that asked for the name of the population that moved to another area?

LOL i wrote "immigrants" had no clue

I said when the chromosomes fused, it allowed more genes to be held on a single chromosome, therefore the more complex an organism becomes the need for more genes for gene expression. Pretty much took a guess though.

This was my guess!

Its a bio exam though... last year you needed like 76.xx% roughly for an A+ ... well bare minimum over the threshold for A+ but still an A+

I wrote founder group/ founder population

LMFAO

[brendanbob]

i had founder effect at first but thought that wasnt a proper name to call the population so went with immigrants as well

[fujiismydog]

I was talking to some mates after the exam and we came to agree that it was founder population. Personally I was stumped, kicking myself for such an easy mark and wrote founder effect.

I wrote founder group/ founder population

i wrote allopatric species rofl ><

I wrote founding population also.

Was it just me, or was the speciation question also a genetic drift question, because the population was small.

I made a little footnote of this at the bottom, as it is possible that the founding population was not representative of the original population.

did we have to label the skull or just identify differences and explain?

[Raiinman]

What was the transcription and translation one?
jokes jokes

I wrote founders D: arrghh!
And what did you guys write for how many bird species died...

[masonnnn]

yeah i wrote 'founders'
sounded ridiculous but i couldn't imagine what else to write ahah

and yeah it was genetic drift, i specified how the new population would've originally had a different allele frequency/ decreased genetic variability, besides that it was just speciation.

I thought you're allowed to use a dictionary / thesaurus in your biology exam.

[LachieEvans]

I also wrote founders.. was a fairly easy exam i thought.

What did everyone say for the bird species dying out?

[lexitu]

I think founders is fine...

And stonecold, agree, it was speciation/drift.

Just on the gorilla/aus one - I found the wording funny (it didn't really ask you to say which was which. What do you think it was asking for?

Very fair exam though.
