hey kadlil - long time no talk lol =)

well in answer to your dot point, the first thing that comes to mind.. (dont quote me) is the research on amino acid expression in megafauna and modern animals - the more similar the expression the more closely related they are - hope that helps - if u need more detail tell me ;)

lol, dolls, don't be so damn stressed! bio is an easy course okay! just remember:
1. year 11 counts for nothing. you will use basically nothing you learn in yr 11 in yr 12 bio all right?
2. the bio course may look long i know, but you will find that you have plenty of time. if you don't like the way your teacher is handling the course, either borrow or buy a good textbook, manby go through the syllabus dot points individually which is all you need
3. i'm a bit hazy on this, might be wrong but, the Charles Stuart University websote had good notes for HSC bio, covered basically all units bar electives. i don't know whether they have prelim as well, but you could check it out and see.
4. Disregard this is you want but: the attitude you're displaying towards helping others is rather distressing. the purpose of this site is as a forum to ask for help and to help others. Think how you would feel if in every forum you went to everyone refused to help you until you'd shared knowledge with others? we all find bluders annoying, but many people juts need a little help with one or two areas and are willing to help you in return if they can - try to be one of those people

I...am...so...stressed!
we have only just started life on earth, why does the stupid teacher have to drag it out like this???? we are up to fossils and watching a fucked up video, i feel like screaming 'THIS IS NOT IN THE SYLLABUS' but what can you do? i think i will start teaching myself the damn subject but if it is like this next year i think i will committ suicide (not really) it will really stress me!!!

hmmm...your description sounds like the amino acid research coupled with beta chain of haemoglobin - is this what you meant? coz im sure that that research is about using DNA evidence and blood components to identify evolutionary links in terms of humans. then again it was a while ago i did that so i could easily be wrong

lol nuh - its the amino acid sequencing in all animals - and they count how many diffs are between each organism - say with humans and chimpanzees, the difference would be small, say 2? but with humans and a pea plant - itd be like....40 lol

dun think it has much to do with blood..

Hey hey,
Someone help me!! I'm desperately behind in bio study, the exam is tomorrow morning, and I'm exhausted from doing Eng all weekend. Stupid Gatsby. Stupid Othello. Distracting me from science...

I'm good for 8.2 -4, but I was away a lot in Australian Biota and I can't make any notes yet because I'm still finishing the other 3 modules, and trying to do practise exams and :S.

If anyone has any notes at all for 8.5, even just a handful of dot-points as long as it's summarised, and would post them, I will be eternally grateful. when I get a spare minute I'll post my Local Ecosystem ones which are quite good.
Thanks :)

Anything on evolution of the Aust Biota is fine, whatever dot point. My assignment was terrible and I missed lots of notes, I don't have much to work from.
Thanks
