Good luck everyone

 

[OkDen]

DONE!

I thought it was relatively easy, compared to past papers that I did.

 

[jjuunnee]

some questions were kinda weird, especially when they made us draw three eye diagrams for communication hahaha that sucked

 

[OkDen]

What did everyone get on the Red-bellied snakes multiple choice question?

 

[RozJoHo]

i think it was b? idk they didnt really say what kind of activity so i just assumed physical


also DO THEY CUT THE CORNERS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PAGE OMG IF THEY DO AHH
and uh the co dominance and natural selection question was hard to explain

No, the Red-bellied snakes question was the one with Cane Toads in northern Australia...

 

[RozJoHo]

oH yes eheh i put it doesnt affect evolution? wbu

 

[xX_Jess_123]

i screwed so many questions especially the co-dominance one and all of the paper

 

[xX_Jess_123]

yeah i put it doesnt

 

[OkDen]

I chose the answer that said no evolution was occuring. Was I right?
People are saying that divergent evolution is occuring.

it cant be divergent cause the species was the same

 

[OkDen]

Nice.

I think I went OK 50/50 in that one! Wierd questions! It's funny how they made us draw eye diagrams for communication

I am just glad that i did not need to use any supplementary paper and did not had to write my ID and centre number, cause writing those things are so annoying.

HAHA That 5 marker, 3 diagrams. That's basically free marks.

 

[tazren]

anyone got the answers to the paper?

 

[Deadboxes]

Communication option was alright tbh, I didnt study like anything about the brain, but thankfully none of it was in the actual exam, exam honestly didnt seem ultra hard, hopefully my results agree lmao

 

[Deadboxes]

But all I know is that, the pedigree one was 2:4 = 50%:50% Im pretty sure.

 

[tazren]

How did you go in the question about the mammal/fur/infertility question

 

[Deadboxes]

I said something along the lines of how in a species there are individuals who are best suited, etc, and then went on to say how the allele coding for the best trait is codominant, but the resulting offspring are all infertile if bred with another individual whom is codominant (MRMR), so why other individuals had to breed with them, and then linked it all or someshit.
