Way too difficult to call this “general knowledge”

Hi Huppeltrutje, thanks for the feedback. What would you call this? I would consider this GCSE-level biology (UK curriculum), so I would consider that general knowledge.

I've been dying for a quiz like this (I'm a biology student), so I'd be really happy if it got featured.

Could you add "electrophoresis" and "chloroplasts" as type ins? I know the latter is technically wrong but I think anyone who guesses that had the right idea

Bit too one-sided for my taste. 10/15 questions fall into the anatomy/cytology/biochemistry part of the biology spectrum. Also, a quiz that's titled “general knowledge” probably shouldn't have 11/15 questions with under 50% of quiz takers answering correctly.

Would you be alright if I made a biology general knowledge quiz too? I would be happy to credit you for the idea

How only 21% of people know that the optic nerve causes a blind spot is beyond me!

Accept size exclusion chromatography and magnetic bead extraction. And the density gradient stuff but it's more niche

Fun. But should allow alternative terms/variants, like nervus opticus, mRNA, electrophoresis [not "gel"], homozygote
