    Further Mathematics (Paper 2) Text Book?

    Hello, I was wondering if there were any online resources such as downloadable (free) textbooks for the second Paper (Mechanics and Statistics) of Further Mathematics. I appreciate any help, and if any of you have the book in pdf form in your computer, please compress it and email it to me at...

    Further detail to be added: Oestrogen (made during the development of the Graafian follicle) inhibits the secretion of FSH only. Progesterone (made AFTER ovulation when LH has caused the formation of the corpus luteum), on the other hand, inhibits the secretion of FSH and LH, to make sure LH...

    JUST AS I THOUGHT! I THOUGHT THE RNA POLYMERASE MUST HAVE SOME WAY OF IDENTIFYING THE PROMOTER IN THE DNA SEQUENCE! Woohoo, my guess was correct! So there is a "transcription factor" that includes a specific complementary sequence to that of the promoter gene in order to bind to the DNA at that...

    You're just confused. The basement membrane of the capillary forms a boundary between the capillary and the inner wall of the renal capsule that exists between it in the glomerulus. So here's how it works: |glomerulus||epithelium of capillary||basement membrane||podocyte||renal capsule| So...

    Increased respiration rate means less water inside the plant. Respiration occurs due to the escape of water vapor through the stomata and so it closes to prevent excess water loss. Read the small section about ABA.

    I didn't make a key either and I don't think you'll be penalized for such things, it's just your knowledge of electron placement being tested here.

    Yes, your questions are getting vaguer and vaguer. Well, the point of crossing over is: out of the paternal and maternal chromosomes in the cell undergoing meiosis, only one of them will be present in the gametes. Crossing over make sure that the same genes from the grandmother/grandfather...

    Crossing over as in chiasmata, right? Linkage groups are groups of genes on the loci of the chromosomes that are "linked" together as in bound together and when crossing over occurs, these break and reform between parts of the paternal and maternal chromosomes.

    I understand the question always, but then there doesn't seem to be enough stuff to write, you know, and I tend to go outside the boundary of the question and then I don't know what happens. Any sort of, you know, in general tips. You can even tell me which type of question to choose out of the...

    I need serious help with the long questions, any tips? I got like a 61 on my paper last terminal, largely because of my blundering in the last questions.

    Very nice examples. Another PG (pretty good) example is that of the exposure of the gene of tallness in a human child's phenotype. Although a child may inherit alleles for tallness from his/her parents, if he/she is not fed properly and not provided appropriate nutrition, it will not be seen...

    Well, technically, the stuff that we need to know about mutations are: A mutation is the alteration in the genetic base sequence of an organism. There are three main types: - Base substitution - Base addition - Base deletion (*) Base substitution - It is a point mutation - A single base gets...
