<p>@somefish i put there was a bottleneck affect</p>
<p>someone want to estimate the curve for the M exam?</p>
<p>@pdateh35 exactly, it’s chemical</p>
<p>The list is OK except for the ones I said</p>
<p>@kili16 oh lol i thought u said it was electrical</p>
<p>I agree with kili16 about everything. </p>
<p>I’m trying to remember what I put for the first fossil question. Outside of that, I haven’t missed any.</p>
<p>kili, did you get the bell curve for the decomposing tree with insects?</p>
<p>Okay I did really bad. I know I left around 10 blank. I was too scared to guess, because on practice tests, guessing pulled down my raw score by about 3 points.
Getting below a 700 would be pretty disappointing </p>
<p>I’ll probably have to retake it because I want 750+
Should I cancel now or should I wait for scores to come back?</p>
<p>How do you do the international biology Olympiad?</p>
<p>@pdateh35 was there a question about the bottleneck effect? I took M and I didnt see that</p>
<p>and the question with the drawing of dna and the ribsome, was the answer to what contains both RNA and protein the ribosome(the ball on the bottom of the drawing)?</p>
<p>@kili16 i think it was on E. The question was why cheetahs show little variation or something</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus I finished with time so I REALLY thought about that one
First you get a lot of ants, then as the material stars to decompose, the ants go away so yeah, bell curve
Besides the other didnt make sense xD</p>
<p>@pdateh35 Yes, ribosomes have 4 types of rARN plus 80 proteins</p>
<p>it was on E. Agreed with the corrections kili made. I put an exponential curve + carrying capacity for the insect one. probs wrong though. Looks good -2 and maybe 1 omit. i heard that the curve last year for this was -4 to -5 is an 800</p>
<p>@pdateh35, yeah</p>
<p>I had trouble on the Cheetah question. There is a population with genetic equality. Why?
I guess that Isolated populations came together again…</p>
<p>Is the vine dependent on the live tree?</p>
<p>@IBprocrastinate
Yeah the vines depend on the trees for both structure and nutrients apparently
Don’t think that’s true though xD</p>
<p>@somefish wouldn’t that mean that they would show a lot more variation?</p>
<p>@IB i put yes</p>
<p>I think I put allosteric for the cheetah question.</p>
<p>Coolio. Pretty easy test overall. Oh and was the fossil order starfish > shark > dino > something? That was the only one that I guessed.</p>
<p>“And cheetahs are sufficiently closely related to one another that transplanted skin grafts do not provoke immune responses,[9] thus suggesting an extreme population bottleneck in the past.”</p>
<p>yessss</p>
<p>@pdateh35, Yeah, ribosomes are made of rNA and protein.
But…
if ‘The question was why cheetahs show little variation or something’ then the answer wouldn’t be bottleneck effect…</p>
