Hsc 2009 bio exam

How'd everyone go?? I think it was a pretty straight forward exam.. besides some multiple choice questions that were tricky :/ My options on genetics had big questions... 5 marks, 6 marks, and 7 marks consecutively :O!

Question 14 about the punctuated equilibrium/convergent/divergent evolution.. what'd you guys put? My teacher said it could be divergent.. or punctuated. I put punctuated.

Also the question with the stomates opening.. it could be either b) or d).. if it was a eucalyptus tree it would be b) but i put d)

i put punctuated cause there was a long period where nothing occur, followed by a period where evolution occurred. I also put D xD
Pretty straight forward exam tbh.

Re: Hsc 2009 bio exam

The exam was ok. The only tricky section for me was the 6 marker on the kidney (wtf). The 8 marker was a bit challenging but i hope to get some marks for it. i made a few mistakes which i had to cross out grrr ie enantiostasis. Why did i have to write a marine animal instead of a plant. Man i got to learn how to read. Communication was fairly easy

Re: Hsc 2009 bio exam

There were definitely alot of those 'choose BEST answer' type questions..like the one of the gas exchange of CO2 and 02..

Also, the pedigree question, where it could have been sex linked or recessive/dominant? That was a pain. I said the conclusion is not viable without further evidence.

Yeah, what was with the diagrams! Haha, and communications, once again, another diagram, of a bloody eye!
