Section A [40 marks]
Answer all the questions in this section.

1 During research into the mechanism of DNA replication, bacteria were grown for
many generations in a medium containing only heavy isotop of nitrogen, 15N. This
resulted in all the DNA molecules containing only 15N.This is illustrated in Fig 1.1.

Fig 1.1
These bacteria were then grown in a medium containing only light nitrogen, 14N. After
the time taken for the DNA to replicate once, the DNA was analysed.The results are
shown in Fig 1.2

Fig 1.2
(a) Explain how these data support the semi-conservative hypothesis of DNA
replication.

3 In the banded snail (Cepaea nemoralis) the colour of the shell is either yellow
(appearing green with the live snail inside) or pink. In a sample of 300 snails from a
population in an area of sand dune near Magilligan strand, 192 had yellow shells.
The colour of the shell is genetically determined and pink is the expression of the
dominant allele.
(a) Calculate the proportion of the population that have yellow shells.
.

(b) Assuming the population to be in HardyWeinberg equilibrium for shell colour,
calculate the relative frequencies of the yellow and pink alleles, and the number in
the sample of 300 that might be expected to be heterozygous. (Show your working

(c)These snails are predated by song thrushes. The thrush, having captured a snail,
breaks open the shell by hammering it against a stone, so that examination of the
shells found at these anvil sites reveals the frequencies of the forms predated. Of
35 shells found at such sites, 28 were yellow.

predation would maintain both forms (for example yellow and pink snails) in a

Transfer of energy from the sun to producers:
Any five points

in photosynthesis/primary production

2) solar radiation refl ected or absorbed (and radiated back into space)
by ozone layer/dust particles/clouds

3) Most energy fails to strike green plants/absorbed by soil

4) of the solar radiation striking a leaf much is used in evaporating


water from the leaf

5)sunlight is absorbed by the chlorophyll (during which it is converted to


chemical energy) of green plants

range/chlorophyll absorbs mostly red and blue wavelengths

7) the total amount of energy captured in newly synthesised

carbohydrate/during photosynthesis represents the gross primary
production (GPP)

8) a proportion of the GPP will be respired by the plant and will be lost
as respiratory heat [allow in section below if not presented here]
9) this represents assimilated material available to the next trophic
level/the difference between GPP and respiration is the net primary
production (NPP)
[allow in section below if not presented here]

Transfer of energy through the trophic levels:


Any five points
1) much of the producer material will die and enter the decomposer
trophic level
2) In fact, generally over 50% of the plant material enters the
decomposer food chain rather than the consumer food chain

3) some of the plant material eaten by primary consumers (herbivores)


will be egested as faeces and will (along with urine) be available to
decomposers

4) some of the plant material eaten and digested by primary consumers


(herbivores) will be assimilated

5) some of the energy assimilated will be respired and so lost as heat


(in all trophic levels)

6) some energy may be lost in urine

7) generally the biomass/productivity of one trophic level is less than


that of the previous trophic level/in fact, only about 10% of the energy
consumed by one trophic level is available for consumption by the next

8) this results in a limit in the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem


to four or five/by the fi fth trophic level there is not enough energy to
support another trophic level
