    Questions on cell division
    1 a Chromosomes are in matching pairs in (most) cells;
    one member of each pair comes from the mother and one from the father;
    in humans there are 23 pairs. [max. 2]
    b One pair (of the 23) are the sex chromosomes;
    they determine the sex of the individual;
    females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome. [max. 2]
    c Autosomes are all the other chromosomes apart from the sex chromosomes. [1]

    Events Stage
    Chromosomes line up across the equator of metaphase
    the spindle, attached to the spindle by their
    centromeres.
    Chromosomes uncoil and elongate. Spindle telophase
    breaks down and the nuclear membrane re-
    forms.
    Chromosomes shorten and thicken by coiling. prophase
    Nuclear membrane breaks down and spindle
    forms.
    Chromatids separate and move to opposite anaphase
    poles of the cell.

    [4]
    3 a Metaphase [1]
    b A = centromere;
    B = chromosome;
    C = spindle;
    D = centriole [4]
    c x = 47 mm / 47 000 µm
    47 000 × 22 000 (or other correct calculation)
    = 21.4 µm / 21 µm [1 mark for calculation; 1 mark for answer] [2]
    d Asexual reproduction means the production of new individuals of a species from
    one parent organism;
    any suitable example such as binary fission in Amoeba, Hydra budding, vegetative
    propagation in plants, etc. [2]
    e Interphase [1]

    4 a They divide repeatedly, out of control;


    forming an irregular mass of cells / a tumour. [2]
    b Gene mutation / formation of oncogenes. [1]
    c Ionising radiation / example of ionising radiation;
    chemicals / example of a chemical mutagen (allow tar in tobacco smoke);
    virus. [3]
    d Benign tumours do not spread from their site of origin;
    malignant tumours spread and invade other tissues. [2]
