the syllabus mentions this point 2.1 which I would like to know about it :
          
 
 Know that here are other classification
                                      systems e.g. cladistics (based on RNA/
                                      DNA sequencing data)

Only 2 naming systems in IGCSE you have to know
1- Binomial nomenclature
2- cladistics

I'll assume you know what binomial nomenclature is.
and about cladistics, for IGCSE you only have to know the name (cladistics) and that it is based on DNA and RNA sequencing.

Yes, that's what I've studied.

plus the point from the syllabus says that you only have to know that there are other naming systems.
here are 2 questions as an example:
 i-Name any system of classification other than binomial nomenclature. (cladistics)
ii- what does the system you've mentioned in (i) use for classifying species. (dna and rna)

can't also fossil fuels be a classifying tool

no but wikipedia I think
 Cladistics there is really  really HARD  ???

and I thought that the syllabus mentioned cladistics as an example so there may be others that's why I 'm worried  :-\

Cladistics is hard, but you don't need to know much about it. :)
Don't worry, these 2 are enough :D

read it.

and do you mean:

can't also fossil fuels be a classifying tool

or

fossils or fossil fuels?

fossils can be used in binomial nomenclature, but that's too much detail.
I will say it again, you don't need to know much details about classification.

Hi all, I got told by a physics teacher that following the specification of any of the sciences doesnt mean anything, he claims the questions are completely different and what I should do is look at the mark schemes.
I have been pondering what is the best possible way to revise all three triple sciences. Can anyone offer any tips on HOW to memorize key points and actually Learn and Remember them? I have tried really hard summarizing notes from my revision guide, and attempted past paper questions, marking any mistakes that I made, but remembering these mistakes as well as understanding it is the problem, it just doesn't stick! I don't feel like I have made enough progress and my exams are looming. The bio specification looks so long, do we have to know everything? What's the most beneficial way of revising bio?

Hi
I came across a question in a past biology theory paper today;

'State how many times a red blood cell must pass through the heart when it travels from the lungs and returns to the lungs'

and also:

'At high altitudes there is less oxygen in the air than at sea level.
Suggest how this might affect the uptake of oxygen in the alveoli'

Thanks :DDD
