A-level Biology Cells Questions With Complete Solutions. Name the main biological molecule in: The Cell Membrane The Cell Wall -Phospholipids -Murein Has stacked membranes arranged in parallel and contains DNA. Chloroplasts Is an organelle and is not surrounded by two membranes. Golgi Apparatus Human breast milk is produced and secreted by gland cells. These gland cells have adaptations that include many mitochondria and many Golgi vesicles. The milk contains a high concentration of protein. Explain the role of these cell adaptations in the production and secretion of breast milk. Mitochondria release energy in the form of ATP for vesicle transportation. Golgi Vesicles transport the protein out of the cell. Explain the advantages of lipid droplet and micelle formation. The droplets have a large surface area which increases the rate of hydrolysis. The micelles are smaller so are able to pass through the membrane carrying the products. Suggest how the Golgi apparatus is involved in the absorption of lipids. It modifies and processes triglycerides and combines them with proteins, forms vesicles and releases them via exocytosis. In cell fractionation, why is the solution ice cold? Stops enzyme activity to prevent digestion of organelles Is RNA in a Virus or Bacterium? Both Is a cell wall in a Virus or Bacterium? Bacterium Are enzyme molecules in a Virus or Bacterium? Both Is a capsid in a Virus or Bacterium? Virus Which of cell membrane, cell wall and nucleus is a is white blood cell present in? Cell surface membrane and nucleus Which of cell membrane, cell wall and nucleus is a is bacterial cell present in? Cell wall and cell surface membrane Some scientists support the theory that mitochondria are organelles that evolved from prokaryotic cells. (i) Give one piece of evidence that supports the theory that mitochondria evolved from prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA What is the advantage to cells of having mitochondria? The respire aerobically so provide energy in the form of ATP. Describe how temporary mounts are made. Thin slice/section; Stain with iodine Add cover slip; Describe how the scientist could have used the temporary mounts of leaves to determine the mean number of chloroplasts in mesophyll cells of a leaf. 1. Take a large number of cells 2. Count number of chloroplasts; 3. Divide number of chloroplasts by number of cells In which organelle does protein synthesis take place? The RER Describe how the RER is involved in the production of enzymes.

Edexcel Biology B A-level Chapter 8 - Origins of
genetic variation Questions With Complete Solution
Homozygote
An individual where both the alleles coding for a particular characteristic are
identical.
Heterozygote
An individual where the two alleles coding for a particular characteristic are different.
Dominance
When a phenotype is expressed whether the individual is homozygous for a
characteristic or not.
Recessive
When a phenotype is only expressed when both alleles code for the recessive
feature, in other words the individual is homozygous recessive for a characteristic.
Polygenic
Phenotypic traits that are determined by several interacting genes.
Monogenic cross
A genetic cross where only one gene is considered.
Law of segregation
This describes Mendel's first law, which states that one unit or allele for each trait is
inherited from each parent to give a total of two alleles for each trait. the segregation
(separation) of alleles in each pair takes place when the gametes are formed and
some alleles code for phenotypes that are dominant over others.
Law of independent assortment
This describes Mendel's second law, which states that different traits are inherited
independently of each other. This means that the inheritance of alleles for one
phenotype has nothing to do with the inheritance for another characteristic.
Multiple alleles
There are more than two possible variants at a particular locus.
Codominant
When both alleles are expressed and the proteins they code for act together without
mixing to produce a given phenotype.
Parental phenotypes
