I deleted my other post, because i think i did it wrong. Look at the reaction from the one top to the one below....this is the fragmentation occurring.

thank you!!
when I saw the question I thought it meant break the disulfide bonds in the hinge region ORZ...So the hydrolysis is occurring at the polypeptide chains but not at the bonds, right?

Well see, the thing is we study a very simplified way of antibody, a little more accurate is image below, notice where is hinge region, doesnt seem to be a polypeptide, but i dont know what is hinge region made of actually.

From the picture here i guess the hinge region is made up of polypeptide coz you can see the disulfide bridges here. this is what i think.

So we can say that the fragmentation process depends on which hydrolytic enzyme the antibody is exposed to right?

well, here's my opinion..
since the eukaryotic cells do not have nucleus so mitosis cannot occur..
and the second question..I've seen that question before but I forgot from which paper it is in.. RER has ribosomes so mRNA can also be found there
Eukaryotic cells have nucleus, not prokaryotes, careful. (1st quest)
Yeah true i forgot that *facepalm* you're right. (2nd quest)
i'll delete my post for no confusion.
Yeah so the answer is C and A ;)

for god's sake I always mix up those 2 words .... I swear the thing in my mind is prokaryote... Thanks for pointing out this stupid mistake...

Guys I need HELP!! Im taking Biology A level in june! Now any tips how to learn all this? plus about the pastpapers! specially paper 4 has a lot to learnnnn!! Guys help tell me what should I do?

This is what i did 1 month prior to my Nov exams. I never revised in order in the syllabus, i revised chapters with are bulky first and those which i had difficulties. Now it depends on you. If you are giving the A2 paper 4 exam first, tackle A2 first because there are so many things. I went in this order:
Start revising Regulation and control (Kidney, Nervous, endocrine), Inherited change, Selection & evolution, Respiration and Photosynthesis. [A2 core]
Then go to Applications: Gene Tech, Biotech, Crop plants, Reproduction and biodiversity [ Applications ]
Revise like 2 topics of A2 and 1 Application per day. depends on your schedule now.
You r now ready for paper 4 (2007-2012.). . Run this in parallel with the following:
Tackle AS now
Transport (Animals +Plants), Infectious disease, Immunity, Ecology, Gas exchange, Gen. control, enzymes, biochemistry, cell structure, Cell membrane and transport, Cell and nuclear division. It depends on you which you find bulky and difficult. Finish all of these in no more than 3 days.
Once this is finished, tackle papers 1 and 2
Revise paper 3 (practicals, review them). and tackle paper 5.

This is what i basically did, but, still it depends on you how much time you spend to study and what r u priority chapters.
Hope i helped and good luck (y)
