Quick questions:

1. Which of the following provides the most compelling evidence for Darwin/Wallace's theory of evolution by natural selection?
(A) Biochemistry
(B) Biogeography
(C) Comparative anatomy
(D) Paleontology

2. Vaccinations are effective protections against certain diseases because of the presence of:
(A) Macrophages
(B) Memory cells
(C) Monocytes
(D) Phagocytes
hard qs.

I think i did these before.

1. i think is D, probs wrong though because too obvious. Sooo I'd put B.

2. B

I thought the first one was A as well, but the answers say D.

Same for the second one, thought it was B, apparently it's D ?

oohh I was thinking stuff Darwin used to make his theory.
I'm confused. Is it asking for stuff that Darwin used to make his theory or the stuff that we can use to prove his theory with the technology available now?

im actually confused about first one...most compelling, obvs biochemistry gives the greatest evidence, but then again...on natural selection...not really.

The second one has to be B. I don't think phagocytes have anything to do with vaccines?

i would say biochemistry for a, partly because the fossil record is incomplete.
How does proving that two species are more closely related provide compelling evidence for natural selection?

Question 2 is defs B. As for question 1, the question is just generally not a good question because all of those could be used to support their theory and they could all be just as important as each other depending on how you look at it. Don't waste your time even thinking about questions like that.

its so obviously B cos its all about memory

sigh

I hate multiple choice so much
I've noticed that when I do biology, I find it easy. But I do worse in it than Chem. Biology is harder than chem, because its MC is always fucked up. I remember those retarded questions in our trials.

yes

i got 16/20 in trials

got gg'd in the most retarded questions

that even if I had went over the content for 600 years, I still wouldn't have got right, because it doesn't make sense :( :( :(

WHY did I choose bio :(

why didnt I do history :( :(
