PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE MARKING OF LIFE SCIENCES

1.    If more information than marks allocated is given.
      Stop marking when maximum marks is reached and put a wavy line and 'max'
      in the right-hand margin.

2.    If, for example, three reasons are required and five are given.
      Mark the first three, irrespective of whether all or some are correct / incorrect.

3.    If whole process is given when only part of it is required.
      Read all and credit relevant part.

4.    If comparisons are asked for and descriptions are given.
      Accept if differences / similarities are clear.

5.    If tabulation is required but paragraphs are given.
      Candidates will lose marks for not tabulating.

6.    If diagrams are given with annotations when descriptions are required.
      Candidates will lose marks.

7.    If flow charts are given instead of descriptions.
      Candidates will lose marks.

8.    If sequence is muddled and links do not make sense.
       Where sequence and links are correct, credit. Where sequence and links are
       incorrect, do not credit. If sequence and links become correct again, resume
       credit.

9.    Non-recognised abbreviations.
      Accept if first defined in answer. If not defined, do not credit the unrecognised
      abbreviation but credit the rest of answer if correct.

10.   Wrong numbering.
      If answer fits into the correct sequence of questions but the wrong number is
      given, it is acceptable.

11.   If language used changes the intended meaning.
      Do not accept.

12.   Spelling errors.
      If recognisable accept provided it does not mean something else in Life
      Sciences or if it is out of context.

13.   If common names given in terminology.
      Accept provided it was accepted at the memo discussion meeting.

14.   If only letter is asked for and only name is given (and vice versa).
      No credit.

15.   If units are not given in measurements.
      Candidates will lose marks. Memorandum will allocate marks for units
      separately.

16.   Be sensitive to the sense of an answer, which may be stated in a different
      way.

17.   Caption.
      All illustrations (diagrams, graphs, tables, etc.) must have a caption.

18.   Code-switching of official languages (terms and concepts).
      A single word or two that appears in any official language other than the
      learners' assessment language used to the greatest extent in his/her answers
      should be credited, if it is correct. A marker that is proficient in the relevant
      official language should be consulted. This is applicable to all official
      languages.

19.   No changes must be made to the marking memoranda without consulting the
      provincial internal moderator.

QUESTION 4

Meiosis
Crossing – over 
- occurs in Prophase 1
- involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes 
- Leads to new combinations so that each gamete formed will have a mix of genes from
   maternal and paternal parents
- Brings about variation in the gametes formed
- Variation in the offspring 
                                                                                    Max 5
Random arrangement of chromosomes 
- During Metaphase I 
- Each pair of homologous chromosomes 
- line up either way / randomly on the equator of the spindle 
- this allows different combinations of chromosomes to separate into the new cells 
- During Metaphase – II 
- individual chromosomes 
- line up either way / randomly on the equator of the spindle 
- this allows different combinations of chromatids to separate into the new cells 
- Brings about variation in the gametes formed
                                                                                    Max 4
Mutations
- Change in the structure of gene or chromosome 
- Changing the organisms genotype 
- Since genotype influences the phenotype, 
- new organisms formed 
- with new / different characteristics 
- occur through generations / from one generation to next 

         Hou op merk nadat die maksimum punte verkry is en trek ŉ kronkellyn en dui
         'maks'-punte in die regterkantse kantlyn aan.
2.       Indien, byvoorbeeld, drie redes vereis en vyf gegee word
         Merk net die eerste drie ongeag of almal of sommige korrek / nie korrek is nie.
3.       Indien die hele proses beskryf word terwyl slegs ŉ deel vereis word
         Lees alles en krediteer die relevante dele.
4.       Indien vergelykings vereis word, maar beskrywings gegee word
         Aanvaar indien die verskille / ooreenkomste duidelik is.
5.       Indien tabulering vereis word, maar paragrawe gegee word
         Kandidate sal punte verbeur indien nie getabuleer nie.
6.       As geannoteerde diagramme aangebied word, terwyl beskrywings
         vereis word
         Kandidate sal punte verbeur.
7.       Indien vloeidiagramme i.p.v. beskrywings aangebied word
         Kandidate sal punte verbeur.
8.       Indien die volgorde vaag is en skakelings nie sin maak nie
         Krediteer waar volgorde en skakelings korrek is. Waar volgorde en skakelings
         nie korrek is nie, moenie krediteer nie. As die volgorde en skakelings weer
         korrek is, gaan voort om te krediteer.
9.       Onherkenbare afkortings
         Aanvaar indien dit aan die begin in die antwoord omskryf is. Indien dit nie
         omskryf is nie, moenie die onherkenbare afkorting krediteer nie, maar
         krediteer die res van die antwoord indien dit korrek is.
10.      Verkeerd genommer
         Indien die antwoord die regte volgorde van die vrae pas, maar die verkeerde
