See the last question for communication, if you talked about cataracts instead of accommodation, what mark would they give? At least a 3/4? D:

Danm i totally got 9 wrong then (Pathogen Q.)

What was question 17's answer? The one with the T-cells and the interaction? I put D.

Test overall was good, reading this thread is lowering my confidence though.

This was not at all in the Section I of the paper. Making people's heart drop and sh*t.
lol as if that question even makes sense.....

linking mitsosis to immune response should have given the trollness of the question.
But further, linking that to maintainin health in fruit flies (doesn't make sense) via natural selection. As if this question was even considered plausible by some.

I meant that not carefully reading the question and instead looking at the first word 'Explain' and seeing the words 'mitosis', 'health', 'fruit fly' and 'natural selection' gives off the aura of a nasty HSC question.

Guys you know the ebola question. Those that talked about immunoglobins / antibodies...

I talked about antibodies only, not memory lymphocytes. I did not know that memory B cells / T cells could be transferred from person to person??? I know antibodies can be (passive immunisation), so talked about that.

I see a lot of people talking about memory B and T cells, but would that be correct? Can they be transferred to other persons?
