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.
.
[1 mark ]
(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
in the space below.)
[3 marks ]
(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.
(i) Calculate the proportion of the predated snails that have yellow shells.

(ii) Given this information about predation, can it be assumed that the population is in
HardyWeinberg equilibrium with respect to the shell colour? Explain your answer.
[ 2 marks ]
(d) Other studies have suggested that predators tend to take proportionally more of the
more common forms when faced with the choice of prey. Suggest how such
predation would maintain both forms (for example yellow and pink snails) in a
polymorphic population.

(ii) (1) No, as the thrush is selecting proportionally more yellow (less
pink)/ only 0.64 of the population is yellow yet yellow shells make up
0.8 of the predated snails (0.36 pink though only 0.2 are predated);
(2) Selection pressure alters the allele frequency/the yellow form will
decrease (pink will increase); [2]
(d) (1)The more common form would decrease (e.g. yellow would
decrease);
(2) the less common form would increase (e.g.
pink would increase);
(3) until it becomes the more common form, when the cycle would
continue (e.g. pink would become more common in which
situation it would be more heavily predated);
