    1(a)(i) Table 1.1

    number of flies
    male 8
    female 8
    normal wing 12
    vestigial wing 4
    3 correct = 1 ; 4 correct = 2 ; 2
    (ii) 3:1; 1
    (iii) normal wing ;
    because normal (winged) parents had some vestigial offspring /
    reference to heterozygous / Nn ; 2
    (b) [Either as diagram or Punnet square]
    parents / male & female Nn x Nn ;
    gametes N &n ;
    NN Nn Nn nn ;
    phenotypes shown ; 4
    (c) Appearance: (all) vestigial ;
    Explanation: no dominant (allele) present / homozygous recessive ;
    therefore vestigial shows ; 3

    2(a)(i) [Comparative statements or contrasting features]


    Seedling A:
    More growth / longer / larger as a whole ;
    Has root hairs ;
    Curved / larger / longer stem / shoot / plumule ;
    Plumule / stem split / double ;
    Root thicker/larger/longer ;
    Seed / cotyledon smaller ; up to 2 2
    (ii) Reasonable reference to conditions:
    light / water / temperature / nutrients / NO3 / soil / O2 / air ;
    (CO2, auxins, warmth, moisture not sufficient) 1
    (b)(i) 28 mm / 2.8 cm ;
    (ii) 56 mm, ; 2
    (c)(i) A = 40 - 46 ;
    B = 21 - 25 ;
    (ii) e.g. 17 x 100 = 74%

    3(a)(i) Iris drawn with wider gap ;


    (ii) Lens drawn with greater bulge ; 2
    (b)(i) Table 3.2 all correct ; ;
    [one mistake ; 1]

    Distance ruler fell Number of classmates


    9 1
    10 2
    11 4
    12 5
    13 4
    14 2
    15 1
    2
    (ii)

    9 10 11 12 13 14 15
    distance (ruler fell) / cm
    1. x axis labelled – central units
    2. y axis labelled – on line (number of classmates / frequency)
    3. Accurate plotting (columns joined or separate)
    4. Clearly ruled plot, good size on grid [min. 6cm wide, 5cm high] 4
    (Correct line graph loses two marks)
    (iii) alcohol /tiredness / drugs ; Not disability, alertness 1
    (iv) move to right (answer must refer to the chart) ; 1
    (v) (in) reflex action (touching hot object / which this experiment was
    not) ;
    impulse travels -shorter distance / only to spinal cord; 2

    4(a) same / specified temperature ;


    same / specified material ;
    same / specified volume of water / reference to dilution /
    concentration ;
    same / specified volume /amount of washing powder ;
    same amount / size of stain ; [up to 4] 4
    (b) In the appropriate sequence:
    1. In test-tube put protein/albumen with enzyme & pH (buffer) ;
    2. Take out test samples (with Biuret) / at intervals / repeat until no
    reaction / protein disappeared ;
    3. Repeat (or set up initially) for different pH levels;
    4. (somewhere in answer) Biuret + protein gives mauve/violet/
    purple colour; (i.e. the test described) 4
