can som1 plz explain me the diff between continous and discontinous variations ???

Continuous variation: influenced by genes and the environment, resulting in a range of phenotypes between two extremes, e.g. height in humans

Discontinuous variation: caused by genes alone and results in a limited number of distinct phenotypes with no intermediates e.g. A, B, AB, and O blood groups in humans.

Hope that helps ;)

where is it written?
in the mark schemes. It's usually written for all the general questions..like describe the adv of food additives, use of hormones, issue of world supplies, etc etc...

Hey, of course CIE are entitled to put anything in Paper 3, so study the whole syllabus.  Nitrogen cycle has been one of the questions for the past 3 sessions!

There is a glossary of terms used in mark schemes such as AVP, OWTTE in the Oct/Nov 2009 Mark Scheme, take a look ;)!

Sorry didnt mean to ignore u...
No gratefully, I don't think SF has problems to making predictions....XD
Well, CIE's unpredictable, but I bet they wanna test our knowledge on other stuff....so yea, it's rather unlikely :)

Hmm, reproduction or genetics always seems to crop up in one of the topics, and ecology, so get revising on those ;)!

By the way, guys, anyone noticed that CIE has put more effort into trying to avoid cheating.  This year is the first time they introduced variants for Paper 6!  Also, I'm guessing more questions will be different between the two variants for Paper 3 (unlike previous years, only 1 or 2 questions were modified)!

I guess it's a much fairer system!

Moles of H: 0.5/1 = 0.5       Moles of O: 4/16 = 0.25
Ratio: 2:1

Therefore, empirical formula: H20

Hope that helps :D
