1. (a) The diagram below outlines a clinical test used to examine whether a human
foetus has any abnormality in its chromosomes :
(ii) (1) With reference to the chromosomes in the diagram, state the sex
of the foetus. (1 mark)
(2) Describe how the sex of this foetus is determined at the time of
fertilization. (3 marks)
(iv) As the uterine wall may be stimulated to contract when removing cells
from A, what would be the risk associated with this test ? (1 mark)
(v) State two differences between the blood entering the foetus and that
leaving the foetus. (2 marks)
(ii) Regions 1 and 2 have the same area. Work out the ratio of the density
of chloroplasts in region 1 to that in region 2. (2 marks)
(iii) With reference to your answer to (ii), what would be the significance
of this pattern of chloroplast distribution in the leaf ? Explain your
answer. (4 marks)
(iv) It is suggested that cell type C is responsible for the transport of water
from the stem to the leaf. Design an investigation to test this idea
using a leafy shoot. (4 marks)
(i) Describe how oxygen in the tidal air reaches the blood. (3 marks)
(ii) (1) If a person breathes deeply, how will the volume of tidal air
inhaled be affected ? (1 mark)
(2) Based on your answer to (1), explain the effect of deep breathing
on the rate of oxygen uptake in the blood. (2 marks)

* Amount variable
(i) If the average daily energy requirement for Jane is about 9200 kJ,
explain why this diet will be effective in helping her to lose weight.
(3 marks)
(ii) Protein in the diet can be absorbed into the body as amino acids.
Explain how amino acids can provide energy for Jane’s daily activity.
(3 marks)
(iii) If Jane continues this diet for several months, what disease will she
probably develop as a result of mineral deficiency ? (1 mark)
(iv) Describe a food test to show that fat is present in ham. (3 marks)
(i) Referring to the graph, describe the effect of light intensity on the size
of the pupil. (2 marks)
(iv) People have different eye colours, such as brown, blue or green, but
their pupils always appear to be black. Explain why the pupil always
appears to be black. (2 marks)
(i) Under natural conditions, pea flowers are self-pollinated, i.e. the
stigma receives pollen grains from the same flower.
Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of this method of
pollination. (2 marks)
(1) What can you conclude from the result of the first cross ?
(1 mark)
(2) Use a genetic diagram to show how the pod colours of the F2
plants were inherited from the F1 plants. (5 marks)
(iii) Draw a labelled diagram to show what you would see in the cross
section made along line BC. (3 marks)
(iv) By means of a flowchart, show the route by which a red blood cell
from the small intestine reaches the lung. Indicate the major blood
vessels and organs involved. (3 marks)

(iii) Based on the results of experiments 2 and 3 (a), explain whether the
diabetic dogs would show symptoms of the disease if they were
treated with the extracts of pancreas by feeding instead of by injection.
(3 marks)
(ii) Suggest a reason why cell B did not show the same change as cell A.
(1 mark)
(iii) The student wanted to examine cell A under the high power of the
microscope.
(1) State one action that he might need to take before turning to the
high power objective. (1 mark)
(2) State two actions that he might need to take after turning to the
high power objective. (2 marks)

4. (a) In the production of beer, the raw material used is barley grains, which
contain a large amount of starch. When barley grains germinate, amylase is
produced. The grains are then crushed and mixed with warm water. After
several hours, yeast is added to the mixture for fermentation.
(i) What is the action of amylase on the starch in the barley grains ?
(1 mark)
(ii) After the crushed grains are mixed with warm water, why is it
necessary to wait for several hours before adding the yeast ? (1 mark)

(iv) If you want to store the mixture of crushed grains and water with
minimal reaction so that it can be used several days later, what
temperature would you choose ? Why ? (3 marks)
(v) Suggest another method to estimate the amylase activity for this
investigation. (2 marks)

The quantities of suspended solids and bacteria in each water sample are as
follows :
A 8.3 105
B 6.0 1986
C 5.5 23 140
D 2.5 15
(i) (1) Explain how the concentration of suspended solids may affect
the population of producers in seawater. (3 marks)
(2) Hence, predict which site has the largest population of producers.
(1 mark)
(2) Deduce which site would contain the greatest amount of organic
pollutants. (1 mark)
(3) Suggest one reason for the presence of a large amount of organic
pollutants at this site. (1 mark)
(iii) Certain regions of Hong Kong waters have been designated as marine
parks. What is the significance of this for conservation ? (1 mark)
