_sophiestudies_
We have to also consider that insulin is quite expensive and so following the principle of Justice, the production of insulin has ethical issues as people from a lower socioeconomical background may not be able to afford it.

_sophiestudies_ could a problem with this is that the bacteria is introduced into insulin gene and therefore causes harm to the individual
How do we answer this?
The editing of plant genomes raises a range of ethical issues. For example, there are concerns about
the risk of inducing ‘off-target’ mutations and adverse immune responses to the Cas9 protein.
Discuss how a consequences-based approach and beneficence could apply to the use of CRISPR-Cas9
to edit the genomes of plants from the perspective of a research scientist.

Consequence based approach
• aims to achieve maximisation of positive outcomes and minimisation of negative effects (1 mark)
• editing the plant genome can increase plant yields, nutrition and prevent diseases (others) – positive outcomes for producers and consumers of the plants at the cost of ‘off-target’ mutations and adverse immune responses (1 mark)
Beneficence
• maximising benefit and minimising risks and harm (1 mark)
• benefit the farmers as they get more income and benefits consumers as they get healthier products (1 mark)
hi could someone explain the difference between hominins, hominoids, and primates?
@God Could you give an estimation for the study score I be up for in Biology
My SAC average was 85% consistent through the year and I was perhaps top 7 in my cohort of 65 students.
However I went over the suggested solutions and lost at max 12 marks through the whole exam (that's me being paranoid about my responses, hopefully less then 10 marks lost overall).
Is it possible for be to get 40+ ss

Yes definitely! I lost 8 marks last year (224/240), and got a raw 46 (should have been 47, like the guy I beat - but that’s SAC ranks for u)
Looking at tsfx, for 40 raw u need probably 90% or higher to ensure u get it. It could be much lower depending on the year tho. (Like 2019 was 80% needed, yet in 2020 it was 90%)
Ur probably looking at a range of 43+, if u get something like last years exam.
Presuming things stay the same that is. (Idk about the new study design)
Congrats!
if you loose 20 marks on exam what study score would you get?
how many marks can you loose on exams to still get over 40
- Edited
As I said, the 40ss lies between 80-90% each year. If the exam is 120 marks…
0.1x120 = 12, 0.2x120=24
So between 24 and 12 marks lost.
But that’s presuming it is between 80-90% cutoff….
So I wouldn’t really worry too much.
Hope this helps!
