well it depends according to the question

in the markscheme both the line of  best fit and straight line joining all points are acceptable

but still even sometimes a line of best fit might not be sensible since it doesn't pass across most of the points but still it is acceptable

2.Control
3.types of organisms used,age,species,sex...
4.repeat experimet,get average(method+why u do it)
5.what u measure+what u do it with
6.variables u are keeping constant
7.Safety precautions
Are the Unit 3B papers any good,for the Unit 1 +2 AS exams?

Thanks +rep

C- Control
O- Organism
R- Repeat
