Examiner's wordings, "The growth of cells does not involve mitosis, whilst an increase in size of living things would involve mitosis to produce more cells."

There is a fine line between growth of cells and growth of tissues. Mitosis causes growth of tissues by increasing cell numbers; it does not cause the growth of a cell itself! :) It's important to understand that mitosis causes growth and repair of tissues, not growth and repair of cells!

mcq 24)this one is really simple,the answer can only b A bcuz B & D has the base URACIL in it so they r not DNA while C shows the attachment of nucleotides of both the templates in the same direction,while one template is replicated in 5'-3' and the other one is replicated in 3'-5'direction
mcq 40) i m confused abt this 1
2010/13
2) answer cannot b B or C bcuz the graph shows that the enzyme takes more time for the reaction at the potimum temperature while it shld take the least time at this temp.and D is also wrong bcuz it shows that the enzyme is NOT completely denatured at 50 degree celsus...
6)is it D? IF it is than i dunno how cuz i hav a realy stupid theory abt it...
17) i think that the aswer is B.bcuz Q,R and S shows the pressure in the ventricle when the blood flws in it.
34) sorry i hav no idea abt it
2010/12
4) for my convenience i converted all the measurements in metres:
eukaryote= 1.5 x 10^1 um = 1.5x10^-5 m
prokaryote= 7.5x10^2 nm = 7.5 x 10^-7
the line is 1 cm or 0.01 m long
no. of W.B.C = 0.01 / (1.5 x 10 ^-5) = 6.7 x10^2
no. of streptococcus = 0.01 /(7.5 x 10^-7) = 1.3 x 10^4
