For Chemistry paper 6
The investigation question where we carry out our own experiment
Do we have to write it in an essay format or point form
Thanks

the burette is measured from up cuz it's reading goes like:
burette.jpeg

and as for the coulourless potassium iodide, from my experience with solving past papers, i found out that any iodide salt solution is colourless
q.3 for this inheritance diagram i prefare drawing a table like this
View attachment 41828
but the question three is at present referring to mitosis and meiosis......... not inheritance

Well the first 2 have been explained
For
32) See meiosis results in gamete formation, right, so as you can see the genes are more of like splitting in W and Y
33) What does each of the line represent?
34) Now sickle cell anaemia can be homozygous or heterozygous. In the homo... condition, it is more likely to show its effect on the person (the person will die quickly) . In the heter... form, it is not that likely, and the person may survive.
So lets say a person has it in the homo.. form, he will have the genotype HaHa.
A person heterozygote for it will have a genotype HaHs.
A person with the genotype HsHs does not have it.

Malaria is a mutagenic agent, and it ill cause the mutation of genes
Thus in these areas, we will find more people with the condition; HaHa and HaHs (HaHa will be more than HaHs)

If we were to cross HaHs and HaHs, we would get
2 HaHa and 2 HsHs.

NOTE: the people with HaHa will die before and will not be able to reproduce

Isn't it that the plasmodium in malaria needs oxygen to thrive on? So people with sickle-celled anemia have less oxygen carrying capacity due to the sickle-shape of their RBCs and so malaria can't attack them?

okay... here
Chemistry Paper 6 2012 q 4b, it says draw two intersecting lines for the graph, when i can only find one possible line to draw,
another one is.... this
View attachment 41840
and this too...

drawing intersecting lines means just joining your points with a straight line. the points maybe showing a trend of rising and falling. thus, rather than drawing it as a curve, we draw it as two intersecting straight lines.

ans 6,

weigh mixture
add excess sulfuric acid
heat / stir
filter /wash / dry the carbon / residue (carbon residue will remain, and you will now measure mass of copper oxide left)
so... reweigh
calculate percentage of the mass left
