Bio Predications (7 Viewers)

[tvskAXatar]

For the TWO biotechs question I did:

GM crops (example: Bt corn and Bt cotton)
Societal: increased yield of food/cotton increases supply of products such as food (Bt corn) and cotton-derived products, decreasing prices for society and giving more options
Ethical implications: Talked about profiteering, biopiracy and religious issues around the use and consumption of GM crops

Biofuels (example: sustainable aviation fuels)
Societal: Talked about decreasing pollution from normal crude oil kerosene used in aircraft, improving quality of life
Ethical implications: Talked about profiteering, biopiracy around the use and consumption of biofuels

How many marks out of 7 did I lose?

might have lost a mark for repetition of similar points for ethical implications, idk if 'GM' crops is too vague for the question or not since GM is a really broad term (obviously it's a biotech but they might have beef with it if u didn't state it was transgenic or something, not sure tho), but its rlly subjective and dependent on marking obviously

I did state recombinant DNA for Bt corn/cotton and explained the process in regards to GM crops. So 4/7?

4-5/7 prolly, personally I'd say 4 is a bit of a low ball considering u have around 2 impacts for each + ethics as well as named examples

Fuck I'm so screwed if 88 is actually the state median.

they will just make the marking criteria stricter and stricter on short answer questions until they get a good distribution very low chance state median is 88 because the distribution wouldn't be proper for top end.
