Cellophane

We did rennin effect on milk.

+1 to fullonoob. What he said is right. You just have to relate their result to the question.

Frost resistant tomatoes. They were inserted with a gene that produces anti freeze, i think. One process in gene therapy is gene gun therapy, which is where they fire the alternate gene into the cell nucleus, or something like that.

Well obviously a raw 90 mark would be a band 6. But for an aligned mark i'd say around 88. However, you need to get a total mark (including school assessment) of over 94 to not be completely raped by UAC. but that was last year.
