Question 22 continues on the next page Name:..................................................... Marks Question 22 (continued) (d) DNA can undergo mutation. Identify ONE example of a mutagen. 1 Radiation (e) Identify ONE advantage and ONE disadvantage of DNA mutating. 2 Advantage : It provides variation within a species which means that species is more likely to survive with different environmental pressures. Disadvantage : It may result in disease. For example, if the mutation occurs in a sex cell the child could be born with Down syndrome. Name:..................................................... Marks Question 23 (8 marks) Pedigrees Huntington's is a degenerative hereditary disease.

Explain your answer with reference to the above pedigree. 2 Dominant as most people in the family have it. (c) If 6 and 7 had another child, what would be the likelihood of that child having Huntington's disease? Explain using a Punnett square. Hh = dad (has the disease), hh = mum (no disease) Likelihood of having kid with disease = 50% Question 23 continues on the next page 2 Name:..................................................... Marks Question 23 (continued) (d) Outline the obvious difference you would see if looking at the chromosomes of twins 3 and 4. 1 One is a female (XX) and one is a male (XY) (e) Contrast the formation of twins in this pedigree to the formation of identical twins. 2 These twins are fraternal and so came from two different eggs and two different sperm. Identical twins come from the same egg and sperm. At some point, the blastocyst splits and develops into two different people with identical chromosomes. Name:..................................................... Marks Question 24 (6 marks) Mendel From his experiments, Mendel was able to explain patterns of inheritance of certain characteristics. 6 Mendel is often called the “father of genetics”. Discuss this statement. In your response include details of the following: - the type of plants he used details of his experiments why his experiments were so successful why his work was poorly understood Mendel cross-pollinated smooth yellow pea plants with wrinkly green peas. (The organisms that are used as the original mating in an experiment are called the parental generation and are marked by P in science textbooks). Every single pea in the first generation crop (marked as f1) was as yellow and as round as was the yellow, round parent. Somehow, yellow completely dominated green and round dominated wrinkly. Mendel learned from this that there are two kinds of traits - dominant and recessive. In this case, the dominant traits are the yellow color and the round shape since they show up at the expense of the green color and the wrinkly shape. He also learned that the inheritance of each trait is determined by "units" or "factors" - now called genes. He went on with his experiment and planted seeds from the all-yellow, all-round crop, achieved from the parent generation, and self-pollinated the grown up plants. The results led to some surprises. Most of the second generation (marked as f2) of peas were yellow and smooth, but some were green or wrinkly. Mendel repeated his experiment many times and the f2 generation consistently had a 3:1 ratio of yellow to green and round to wrinkly. Y = dominant yellow color g = recessive green color R = dominant round shape w = recessive wrinkly shape When the f1 plants breed, each has an equal chance of passing on either Y or g units to each offspring (f2 generation), and the same is with R and w. In the pollination process the offsprings get one trait unit (gene) from every parent; in the case of color the possible combinations are gY Yg YY gg. Three combinations from the four - gY Yg YY - will give yellow offsprings since all of them possess at least one Y dominant unit. Only one combination from the four - gg - will give green offsprings since it has two recessive units. Because, in order to show-up, a dominant trait needs only one trait unit from one of the parents, and the recessive one needs two, from both parents, in order to prevail, that is the reason why the ratio between occurrences of dominant traits and recessive traits is 3:1. The same explanation applies to the shape traits. Name:..................................................... Mendel came to three important conclusions from these experimental results: -That the inheritance of each trait is determined by "units" or "factors" (now called genes) that are passed on to descendents unchanged -That an individual inherits one such unit from each parent for each trait -That a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation. For his Experiments, Mendel chose pea plants because they had some distinctive measurable traits and being easy to breed with a short breeding period - some cultivars reach maturity about 60 days after planting. He measured seven pea characteristics: Color and smoothness of the seeds - grey and round or white and wrinkled Color of the cotyledons (part of the embryo within the seed) - yellow or green Color of the flowers - white or violet Shape of the pods - full or constricted Color of unripe pods - yellow or green Position of flowers and pods on the stems Height of the plants - short or tall At the time, people knew nothing about genetics or DNA, so they were not able to understand Mendel’s work. Mendel himself was not able to fully understand the significance of what he was doing. From: yahoo answers Question 25 (4 marks) Life Cycles Refer to the following information to answer the question. Cane Toad Facts The number of chromosomes in a body cell of a cane toad is 22. Adult females lay 20 000 eggs at a time and breed twice a year. Adult males produce sperm that fertilise the eggs, which hatch into tadpoles. Half the fertilised eggs hatch into females. The tadpoles develop into toadlets which take 12 months to reach sexual maturity and become adults. Draw a diagram to represent the life cycle of a cane toad. In your diagram, include correct scientific terms and show the number of chromosomes present in cells at each stage of the cycle. 4 Name:..................................................... Marks Question 26 (8 marks) Experimental Design Suzy read in a gardeners magazine that urinating on citrus trees (lemon, grapefruit, orange etc.) increases the amount of fruit produced. She thought this was a bit odd. However, such ideas can never be rejected completely until they have been tested experimentally. Describe an experiment that you could perform to test this idea. You should include: - the hypothesis that you are testing a list of suitable equipment the variable that you will change (independent variable) the variable that you will measure (dependent variable) variables that you must control how you will make sure that your results are reliable measurements that you will take how you will interpret your data. Hypothesis: Urinating on citrus trees will increase the amount of fruit produced. Equipment: 20 x lemon trees of identical size in same soil and same location, containers to collect urine Independent variable: whether the trees get urine or not Dependent variable: the number of fruit produced in a year 8 Name:..................................................... Controlled variables: same trees, same soil, same location, same quantity of urine (once per day), same source of urine, same amount of light and water Reliability will be increased by repetition. There will be ten control trees (no urine) and ten trees receiving urine. The results will be averaged. Measurements: the number of fruit on each tree will be counted monthly for a year. Interpretation: The average number of fruit in the control group will be compared to the average number of fruit in the group of trees receiving urine. Marks Question 27 (9 marks) (a) Fill in the following table. Note that states are not required for the formula. Elements combined (b) Reacting Atoms Formula 4 Name of compound magnesium and sulfur Magnesium sulfide aluminium and chlorine Aluminium chloride CO Carbon dioxide CF4 Carbon tetrafluoride Compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds. Include in your explanation: how each type of compound is formed the type of elements the compound is formed from an example of each type of compound. 5 An ionic compound is formed when the electron/s from a metal are transferred to a non metal creating a positive and negative ion. The resulting electrostatic attraction is called an ionic bond. An example of an ionic compound is sodium chloride. A covalent compound is formed when two non-metals share electron to create a covalent bond. An example of a covalent compound is water. Name:..................................................... Marks Question 28 (4 marks) Acid and Bases You are given three liquids, one of which you are told is an acid, the second being water and the third sodium carbonate. The trouble is you don’t know which one is which and you don’t have access to pH indicator or a pH meter. 4 Describe what you would do to identify these chemicals using the following equipment: limewater magnesium ribbon test tubes with side arm rubber delivery tube Take a 2 ml sample of each solution and place in a test tube. To each solution add a 2 cm strip of magnesium. The solution that produces a gas is the acid, (confirm gas is hydrogen via pop test). Take a 2 ml sample of each of the two remaining unidentified solutions and add to 2 test tubes. Add 2 ml of acid to each sample and bubble any gas produced through limewater. The sample that causes the limewater to go cloudy is the sodium carbonate. The remaining unidentified liquid is water. Marks Question 29 (5 marks) Acid Rain Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water to form sulfuric acid.

Include states. 3 Sodium chloride + silver nitrate silver chloride(s) + sodium nitrate (c) She suspected that solution X must contain copper, because of the blue colour. How could she confirm this? 2 Blue-green colour in flame (d) A lilac flame test result showed that solution Y contains a potassium salt. Name TWO possible potassium salts that would give the observed results for the precipitation reactions. potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate 2 Name:..................................................... Marks Question 31 (3 marks) Space Programmes A huge amount of money is spent on space research by many countries. There is debate in society about the benefit of spending such large amounts of money where it could be used to fight poverty, or education or support for the elderly. Describe TWO spin-offs from the space program and explain how they benefit society. Scientific research is work for the future. While its immediate benefits might be difficult to see, experience shows that there are often long-term benefits for society. Blurry images from space can be made clearer by image processing techniques. The same technology is used to improve the quality of mammograms (breast X-rays). This gives earlier detection of cancer and fewer mistakes. Starlight is bent as it passes through the atmosphere. Astronomers’ knowledge of this has been applied to X-ray scanning of bags at airports and to reducing the dose of X-rays given to people in hospitals. Astronomers use filters to stop unwanted light from entering their telescopes. Tinted glass on car windows is really a filter to block unwanted light. Scientific research is valuable because its outcomes are beneficial to society in many predictable and many unexpected ways. Almost every aspect of our lives, as indicated by the examples of above, has been affected positively by scientific research. 3 Name:.....................................................
