    Memory tips for prepared essays!!

    Oh.. so true, 7/10 times I find myself writing out my generic essay no matter what the question is for In the wild because they all sound the same. Heads up though, I'm predicting an interview very similar to the idependant trial question for module A because it fits so perfectly and its the...

    sutton & Boveri!!!! HELP!

    Sutton also showd that not all genes can be explained by mendels ratio, if the genes for two characteristics are on the same chromosome they will move together and be inherited together, these are known as "linked genes".

    King Lear - Structure?

    I'm rebelling against the norm and have never done act I scene I in my essays. My two focus scenes are Act III scene IV and Act V scene IV. I just think everything that can be said has been said about act I scene I, no doubt the markers are over reading the same old filial ingratitude...

    Maths scaling

    I think a lot of people get mixed up thinking that the UAC scales your moderated HSC mark, in which case yes a lot of subjects would 'scale down'. With a majority of subjects the raw mark does get scaled up but in most cases not nearly as much as when ur mark is moderated by the boardofstudies.

I thinking something along the lines of comparing visual acuity and the role of photoreceptors in different animals or...

    Will my biology class pull me down?

    I quite literally topped biology by about 30%. Why? Well we have a teacher who really left it up to the class wether you copied his notes, did work in class or did his homework. Not to mention that we never wrote anything about the practicals we did in class we just simply carried them out with...

    gel electrophoresis

    QFT, I sorta just rushed through it off the top of my head but yes an electrolyte solution with a suitable buffer is a must. could you just say an NaOH solution was spread evenly across the surface of the gel. Honestly this option I think really doesn't have a lot to learn, compared to my...
