Hello.

Is the IAL scientific article different from the GCE one? Cuz I saw on the Edexcel website that both have the same specifications and the only change is the name of the exam (IAL as opposed to GCE A levels). But I have seen both articles, and the IAL one is on "COPD" while the GCE one is on "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks".

GCE A2 June 2014 Scientific Article: www.thestudentroom.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=273612&d=1395592081

Does anyone know anything about this?

Are you an international candidate? If yes- then you are taking IAL Biology, therefore your article is the COPD one. If No -your article is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Cross check the "reference code" on the ARTICLE with the "reference code" on your EXAM ENTRY FORM.

Thanks, I'll check my statement of entry just to be sure (when I get it). So this definitely means IAL and GCE Unit 5 exams are going to be totally different? But how come the Edexcel page for IAL says they'll be the same. Weird. Does this mean the other bio units will be different for IAL and GCE?

Hey guys first of all thanks for uploading the scientific article. :) But there is one problem. The scientific article isn't properly posted by edexcel. Did you notice that big text written on it. Its quite disturbing. Its getting difficult to read the article thoroughly, because some of the words get hidden under that big text. what should we do then? :(

If you open the file in Acrobat Reader, it should appear as normal (without the red lines). It was the same with last year's paper, apparently.

Nice questions and thank you for posting it here. You didn't include any question about :
-Risk, benefit and ethical issue related to the various method of treating COPD
-Gene therapy / genetic engineering
-Gene mutation and it effect on protien
-Gene expression and protein synthesis

Here are the answers to the first lot of questions we were given. Let me know if some don't make sense as they were just the marking points that ew were given. Some might take a bit of expalining. I will try and post the second lot if we get them and have gone through them in class.
