After the EXAM (feedback)

[NE2000]

For the different interpretations of the hominin evolutionary line I said there is a lack of transitional fossils but I forgot to say the fossil record was incomplete...

[susien7]

oh man, i said something about being differences in interpretation of fossils.. oh i royally f'd up this exam

[NE2000]

Also...for the question on cactus I said that they aren't rapidly buried with sediment and it's a warm climate hence they decompose quickly. Do you think that'll be right??

It's amazing, I studied 4 times more for this exam than the last one but I came out 4 times feeling worse...

Not sure if this is what it is but I said different evolution theories like out of africa or regional continuity hypothesis or somethin'.

[bucket]

Yeah, same lol.
For the cactus question I wrote that there are very few fossils as they form more readily in aquatic environments... and mentioned that the cactus lived in the desert... lol

I wrote that they can't determine the actual relationships between the species so it's open to interpretation..shit answer :S

I said that too. I also included the fact that they died in open environments with oxygen and for fossils to form there needs to be alkaline conditions.

I said cos they are "fleshy"- soft things don't fossilise as well?
That is, if fleshy means soft

hey is bateria a vector? I was gonna write plasmids but i don't know why i didn't my brain just went stupid.

That's only for Homo sapiens...regional continuity holds that all Homo sapiens evolved from preexisting H. erectus populations. It wouldn't explain things like why Model A reckoned Homo habilis was not a direct ancestor of H. sapiens etc.

I put a retrovirus I think

Oh yeah, that would have probably been a better explanation, but the examiners would have to be really tight if they don't accept the fact that they weren't rapidly buried in sediment (although I was thinking whether sand would work or not...)

[Ekky]

Yeah...i hope they're not tight...i think it might work with sand- i've seen some examples where there was random sand in the diagram..
that's what i said lol

I hope they're not tight this year....i think it would work for sand- i've seem some diagrams with random sand in the middle..

Also, what did people put for the 1999 multiple organ failure (Jesse Gelsinger)? I'd read about this mind blanked during the exam...

dunno if this is right...
I said a cancer gene was activated and it spread rapidly to other organs causing their failure...lol

[susien7]

i guessed this, but i said they inserted the gene too closely to another gene and activated it and this gene expression resulted in ummmm multiple organ failure
