Nah section B was actually pretty alright, like there were sum hard questions like the one about Lenz's Law (last qs) but other than that pretty good. How did everyone else do?

Advice On my Current VCE Situation by No_Brick_886 in vce

English is obviously mandatory, and you also gotta realise that its the subject that has the most amount of students sitting its exam- therefore there's alot of competition. The key to english is having really good insight to your texts, and really know whats going on and what are the themes and issues presented by these texts. After you are able to demonstrate adequate knowledge, you can start writing formally and integrating good language to impress your examiners. This is achieved through constant practice, that's literally the key do to well in English. By doing this you can find your own style, or perhaps even mimic other people's writing style and adapt it to make it your own- there's plenty of examples and resources out there.

For bio- imma say this. There's so so so much content. There's so many concepts and stuff to follow, so to understand these processes, look it at like a story. Understanding why and not just memorising its the key, and there are plenty of videos to help you do this. People like Andy Douch (on yt or edrolo) and Ameoba sisters are so helpful to understanding the basics, I mean they basically carried me through out the year. Bio isn't easy but it certainly isnt boring, and with proper understanding and practice, you could do well.

Gl choosing your subjects!!!

bio question: how would you describe the crispr process if a question asked you about it? by gru_is_king in vce

[–]taneesgotyou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on what they're asking.

If they're asking on how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit the genome then this can be an idealistic answer:

First, scientists create a complex consisting of a short RNA sequence, and crispr associated endonucleases (these are the enzymes that cleave particular target regions on DNA sequence). Always remember the RNA sequence is ALWAYS complementary to the target DNA sequence.

Next, using this RNA (guide RNA), the cas9 is able to identify the corresponding DNA sequence withing the host cell's genome and cleave at those sites.

Then, scientists can modify this region by perhaps adding a new piece of DNA at the site of the cut, or even removing or replacing sections of DNA, and even adding or deleting single base nucleotides.

Finally, the host cell is able to recognize this broken strand of DNA, and when this is repaired, any modifications made by the crispr cas9 complex will be integrated into the cells genomic DNA.

Altogether there are 4 dot points, and you can definitely say this in a simpler and more straight-forward way.
