BT Cotton is made from the insertion of the bacterium B thuringiensis into cotton. This is an insecticide used to kill insects and predators of crops. By inserting it into cotton, BT Cotton has greater yields due to the added resilience to disease

Anyone mind giving any tips on how to tackle the 6-8 marker questions? I always lose marks here and there in them...
make a plan of key words and ideas in the question and break up the question if the word and is present make subheadings for what is before and after the verb AND

Ecoli bacteria are inserted with the human insulin creating gene, they then create insulin which is harvested and used for medical reasons, primarily for the treatment of diabetes

*sarcastic* woo the Human Story
is that msn thing still ongoing? oh and my teacher said that its the 50th aniversary of some person who did something to do with Bcells and T cells so there might be a high-ish order question on that. Good luck guys (I know I will need it after my history exam)

Morgan, and the two other chromosome guys, who are they and what did they do?
Morgan did experiments on Fruit Fly Drosophilia - showing that some genes are sex linked

The chromosome guys - Sutton and Boveri - disproved Mendel's law of 'independent assortment', showing that genes travel along chromosomes and thus don't "independently assort" themselves into meiotic cells.
I don't know how well I explained that.. do you get it?
