pretty generic, although the 2nd question about the DNA profiles was a but odd, I'm not sure how it was worth 3 marks

yeh i thought that as well, but luckily i had read over everything to do with that a few days ago, i still dont know about it being generic, when i walked out of the exam alot of people said they struggled with that option.

Yeh, i ddnt really like the DNA fingerprinting question...how many pages did u guys write abt medicine, animal biotech or aquaculture?...i found the core of the exam ok....is it true that if a option was seen to b more difficult than other it gets scaled slightly diffrently or is there jus very little chance of scaling @ all in bio?
