For all those doing the Biology HSC tomorrow, who did the 2022 HSC Biology Paper (as practice) recently, what did you all get for raw marks? I'm just asking in comparison to see if I'm above or below what I should be getting...

I got 84
Got 88 lol

my notes have case studies regarding population management
so for conservation i have the cheetah and using genetic markers to track genetic variation, genome wide association studies for disease and disorder and replacement hypothesis for human evolution

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MHC I AND MHC II ????
MHC II is expressed on antigen-presenting cells (B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells), MHC I is expressed by any cell with a nucleus. MHC I presents antigens that are intracellular while MHC II presents antigens that are extracellular (and are thus part of cell-mediated immunity)

any ideas on what the 2 7-9 markers gonna be on? they usually put a large one on epidemiology but what are the other alternatives?

or one of those pestiliential scenario based 7-9 markers such as " EGFR mutations are present in about 32% of cases of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (the most common type of lung cancer). Explain how a mutation in the EGFR gene could result in changes in protein structure and function to increase the risk of lung cancer." (yh so this was in last yr 's paper so this years one might be on scenario based one from heredity or infectious diseases i think)

x axis (independent variable) is the generation
y axis (dependent variable) is the allele frequency

make sure that you use crosses, and a line of best fit, as well as having a suitable scale that ensures the graph covers at least half the available given space

is it fine if we use pens and dont use rulers for punnett squares and tables that we include in responses (e.g i wanna have a punnett square in a 7 marker)?
