Biology Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

Besides the inevitable (A kidney short answer), what are we expecting this year. I think the 100%'s are:

1. Kidney short answer
2. Some evaluation of epidemiology
3. Some variation of polypeptide synthesis (likely attatched to mutation)
4. Biotechnology (i'm hoping / predicting gene cloning or whole organism cloning to pop up)
5. Pedigree / inheretence. - also feeling like we might get one of the weird things like incomplete dominance, co-dominance etc
6. A FAT feedback loop Q. (HOPEFULLY GLUCOSE)

there's probably other staples but i cant remember off the top of my head.

some more probable ones
- something to do with 5.5 and talking about a project used to collect population genetics information
- how a named australian plant responds to a named pathogen
- bush medicine used by Aboriginal peoples, maybe a question on intellectual property of Aboriginal peoples' medicine
- comparing forms of reproduction advantages/something in the multiple choice about advantages

OMG I HAVE PREPARED THE AUSTRALIAN PLANT THING LMAOOO.

AUSTRO PUCINAPSIDII OR SMTHG

i did P. Cinnamomi for trials I think idk
I just remember I wrote cinnamon instead of the actual scientific name for a past paper

wait could u send notes on this? it sounds a lot easier to remember HAHA

yeah sure!
Crown rot in Eucalyptus
Fungal pathogen: Phytophthora Cinnamomi - travels in water

• Physical/Innate:
  • Thick waxy cuticles on leaves, thick bark and dry leaf surface prevent entry of pathogens.
  • Vertical hanging of leaves prevents water from collecting on the leaf surface
  • Closing stomata
• Chemical barriers: stored oils (eucalyptus oil) inside plant tissues act as antifungal agents to destroy the pathogen.
  • Saponins are present all over the bark and inhibit the entry of fungal cells. Tannins are also present in their bark which are toxic to fungal cells.
    
• Active response:
  • Thickening of the cell walls prevents the spread to other cells.
  • protective tissue forms beneath the infected tissue to separate the infected tissue from healthy tissue and prevent spread of disease.
  • Secretion of protective gums seal the infected area, creating a physical barrier
  • Rapid cell death (apoptosis) stops the infection from spreading by sealing off the area or forming a gall. This is due to the R-genes (resistance genes) present in eucalyptus tissues which respond to chemicals released by the pathogen and initiate cell death.

thank uuuu.

yeah i havent seen this in a response (or even plant immune response) as a short answer q in a while.
