2024 March Formal Scope
Grade: 12
Subject: Life Sciences
Date: 1 March 2024
Time: 8:00
Duration: 1 hour
Marks: 50
Stationary needed for test: pen, pencil, ruler, calculator, compass, and
protractor
Topics:
1. DNA – code of life (Textbook p. 128 – 147 and PowerPoint slides)
2. Chromosomes and meiosis (Textbook p. 148 – 161 and PowerPoint
slides)
DNA structure and coding
• how the work done by many scientists allowed Watson and Crick to
unravel the genetic code (1953) and, in the 1960s, the mechanism of
protein synthesis and DNA replication.
• the structure and location of DNA and RNA (mRNA, tRNA only) in a
cell.
• the simple structure of nucleotides, including the names of the four
nitrogenous bases of DNA (adenine [A], thymine [T], cytosine [C] and
guanine [G]) and that uracil replaces thymine in RNA, and which bases
are complementary.
Protein synthesis
• the process of transcription of mRNA from DNA and where it takes
place in a cell. Refer to role of polymerase.
• the translation of mRNA (including the role of tRNA and amino acids)
into specific proteins and where this takes place in a cell. The terms
'codon' and 'anticodon' should be familiar.
Application of DNA technology
• that highly variable, non-coding DNA is used for 'fingerprinting' and
the significance of 'fingerprinting'. The role of PCR (Polymerase Chain
Reaction) in making this possible from small DNA samples.
• Interpretation and importance of a DNA 'fingerprint' is required but
not detail of the process.
Meiosis
• the location of chromosomes in cells and their structure.
• the significance of chromosomes in cell division.
• the difference between haploid and diploid number and understand
the significance of each
• where, when, and why meiosis takes place in animals and flowering
plants
• the process of DNA replication as part of interphase.
• the process and terminology of all phases of meiosis
• about chromosomal mutations that can arise as a result of abnormal
meiosis, (use Down syndrome as an example).
• how to work with karyotypes.
Scientific Method always applies.
