Biology STPM 2011 Prediction

One of the most sorted posts in the internet this time of the year is prediction and I had seen hits on this prediction thing in this blog. Tempted am I to get my crystal ball out from the box this year and see whether it is clear enough  to see anything.
Fortunately it decided to show its prediction this year... much to my relief.
Good luck to all of you for this coming Dec 1 

Now that the Paper 2 is over, you have to concentrate on paper 1. Every chapters will have at least one or two questions, so no skipping but you have to pay attention on what you read. Not too much of memorising but must know the basic well.

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.
Lao Tzu

Prediction #1 : Describe the structures of DNA and explain 3 of its characteristics. If the question is like this, then remember to write about polynucleotides (sugar-phosphate-bases) how these 3 formed the polynucleotide including the bond (phosphodiester bond) - the 3 characteristics of DNA = double helix (2 polynucleotides joined by hydrogen bond into 1 DNA molecule), antiparallel and complementary (bases of A-T, C-G)
Prediction #2: Describe how DNA replicate semiconservatively. Be careful. If the question just ask how DNA replicate, then you have to state that it replicate semi-conservatively and Meselson-Stahl experiment proved that. (Remember the radioactive E.coli and the bands N14/N15). However if the question is like the above, then you will have to explain the formation of leading strand and lagging strand (Okazaki fragments) with the enzymes involved. 

Birthday celebration in October?

I would like to thank the Bio students who had planned a surprise (real surprise) birthday party in the Biolab today. For the first time, congrats to you guys and gals, you had scored a first.

Thanks to all of you.......... the angry bird and the puffer fish taste nice.

I will remember this event, and as I had told you my wish is that you will get a good set of Biology questions that you will be able to get through with flying colours.. All the very best to all of you in your STPM..

I am proud
