Q1.
Mutations can occur in genes.
Mutations can cause genetic disorders in humans.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder caused by a gene mutation.
People with PKU produce an inactive enzyme.
The normal base sequence and the mutated base sequence which can cause PKU are shown
below.
normal base sequence ............ C T C G G C C C T............
mutated base sequence ............ C T T G G C C C T............
(i) Describe how the changes that have occurred in the mutated base sequence produce an
inactive enzyme.

Q2.
Bears
A small number of fossil bones from a very large bear was found in South America in 1935.
The bones were estimated to be about one million years old.
Scientists used these bones to predict the shape and size of the bear.
The diagram shows the bear and a person who is 165 cm tall.
(a) (i) Estimate the height of the bear.

(b) Explain why scientists can only make predictions about the size and shape of animals when
working from fossil evidence.

(b) This is an X-ray photograph of part of a patient's body.
Before the photograph was taken a suspension of barium sulfate was introduced into his
body to show the required part.
Many barium salts are toxic.
Barium sulfate is insoluble in water.
Explain why it is safe for the patient to have barium sulfate in his body.
