VERSION 2

General principles
each single point made well is worth (2) - some idea but incomplete, then (1) only
if more than the required number of answers are given, and at least 1 answer is wrong, count those of least
value first (double dipping)
26 (a) Provides a channel / pathway / binds to the ion / channel protein
(allows facilitated transport (1) only with carrier protein (2))
(b)

(2)

Different size/shape/genes/banding patterns

(2)

(c)

Probe base, sequence of bases (1) histones?

Any 2 of
Radiation, mutagenic chemicals, increase in temperature /heat (1) ea
(2)

(12)

Temperature = (0)
(d) Glutamic acid (1) to lysine (1)
(2)
(e) (i) Changes the way in which the protein folds

(2)

(ii) May block the channel, affect the binding (2) / changes binding site (1)

27. (a) e.g. Intense exercise affects the production of lactic acid

(2)

(2)

a conclusion (e.g. affected) worth (1)

(b) e.g. external temp, consumption of water, the same subject used in the
experiment.

(2)

(2)

(c) accuracy of values(2), appropriate number of sig figs (no more than 3 d.p. (2))
0.160, 8.70. 10.4 [0.1595, 8.6956, 10.4150] (1) off for each error (2)

(4)

(d) Initial rapid increase in mass(1), then a slower increase (1) trend (2)
Refer to data (either time intervals or masses) (2)
(e) C6H12O6

2C3H6O3 formulae (1), balance (1) ATP (max of (1))

(4)
(2)

(f) Increase sample size / replication

(2)
Repeat (0)
(g) 2 x (2) e.g. it is difficult to detect supplements because it is a naturally occurring
substance
it will promote better performances by the athletes / costs / inconvenience/
personal right to choose

(20)

28 (a) Twice as much at G2 (2)

(2)

DNA replication has occurred (1) DNA level is higher (1)

(b) Genetically identical

(2)
(10)

(c) e.g. separates sister chromatids / moves the cell membrane

(2)
structure by itself (e.g. spindle fibres) (0)
(d) Identify role of cell membrane receptors (2)
Effect of old age on cmr e.g. mutations may change their shape / may not be as
many cmr (2)

29 (a)

In the light concentration of CO2 decreases

(2)

In the dark concentration of CO2 increases

(2)

(b) C6H12O6 + 6O2

(4)

6CO2 + 6 H2O [formulae (1), balance (1) ATP max (1)]

(2)

or in words
(c)

(4)

(10)

photosynthesis occurs in the light / rate of photosynthesis greater than rate of

respiration
(2)
Glucose is a product of photosynthesis

(2)

(4)

30 (a) If placed in the zygote every cell will have a copy of the gene (2)
If placed in the adult sheep only some cells will have a copy of the gene (2)

(4)

(b) (i) e.g. may cause pain to the animal / animal did not consent to the
process/tampering with natural processes
(2)
Playing God (1)
(b) (ii) e.g. could affect the functioning of cells / environmental impact if gene escapes
into wild populations
(2)
unintended consequences with no qualification/example (1)
