Older MCQs might not have the typical A, B, C,
D
choices. They
have choices 1, 2, 3, and a combination of them is the answer. Below is the key that maps such
combinations to the answer.
A
1, 2 and 3 are correct
B
1 and 2 only are correct
C
2 and 3 only are correct
D
1 only is correct
recognise organelles and other cell structures found in eukaryotic cells and outline their structures and functions, limited to: • cell surface membrane • nucleus, nuclear envelope and nucleolus • rough endoplasmic reticulum • smooth endoplasmic reticulum • Golgi body (Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex) • mitochondria (including the presence of small circular DNA) • ribosomes (80S in the cytoplasm and 70S in chloroplasts and mitochondria) • lysosomes • centrioles and microtubules • cilia • microvilli • chloroplasts (including the presence of small circular DNA) • cell wall • plasmodesmata • large permanent vacuole and tonoplast of plant cells
describe the semi-conservative replication of DNA during the S phase of the cell cycle, including: • the roles of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase (knowledge of other enzymes in DNA replication in cells and different types of DNA polymerase is not expected) • the differences between leading strand and lagging strand replication as a consequence of DNA polymerase adding nucleotides only in a 5’ to 3’ direction
