    This document contains questions and answers about biological concepts. For question 1a, the answer is A for meiosis and B for mitosis. Question 1b explains that fertilization (conception) joins the 23 chromosomes from an egg and the 23 chromosomes from a sperm to form 46 chromosomes. Question 2a describes the key events of meiosis as the copying of chromosomes, the cell dividing twice to form four cells, and each cell now having a single set of chromosomes. Question 2b explains that fertilization fuses the sex cells from both parents, so the offspring receives genetic material from both and new variations can occur. Question 2c gives one mark for part (i) and two marks for part (ii).

    [5]

    (b) (c)

    fertilisation allow conception (i) (ii) 23 46

    Q2. (a)

    any two from copies of chromosomes made cell divides twice or 4 cells formed each gamete / cell now has single set of chromosomes allow chromosome number halved / cells haploid / cells n

    (b)

    any two from sex cells / gametes fuse / fertilisation offspring receive genes or chromosomes or alleles from both parents / DNA alleles in a pair may vary new form of gene allow change in genetic material / DNA / chromosomes / gene (no) any two from some neutral exemplified e.g. extra digit some increase chances of survival / reference to natural selection or evolution exemplified e.g. example of disease resistance

    (c)

    (i)

    (ii)
