2.4 Grade 12 learners investigated the effects of two plant growth substances,
Gibberellins and Auxins on apical dominance. The apical buds of nine pea
plants of the same species, age and height were removed. These plants were
then divided into three groups. In each group the cut surface of the remaining
shoot (growing stem) of the pea plants was treated in one of the following ways:
Group 1: Coated with a paste containing gibberellins of the same
concentration
Group 2: Coated with a paste containing auxins of the same
concentration
Group 3: Coated with a paste only (containing no plant growth
hormones)
The hormones diffuse into the plant until no more hormones remain
in the paste
The treated plants were all grown under the same conditions in the
laboratory.
The length of the lateral branches of each plant was measured after
every two days for a period of 12 days. Measurements were taken at the
same time for all treated plants and the average for each group
was calculated

2.5 Read the following extract on multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a disorder that causes inflammation of nervous tissue in any area |
of the central nervous system (CNS) and affects about 1 in 1600 people in South Africa.
The first signs of multiple sclerosis are vision problems, weakness or fatigue, pains and
spasms, cognitive problems and problems with bladder control. It is thought that
multiple sclerosis is caused by a combination of factors, such as viruses, heredity, the
environment and auto-immunity. Auto-immunity is when the body attacks its own
nervous tissue. In the case of multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath of the axons break
up and there is inflammation of white matter in the CNS. Drugs are used to treat people
with multiple sclerosis, but there is no cure.

PRINCIPLES RELATED TO MARKING LIFE SCIENCES
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.
If, for example, three reasons are required and five are given
Mark the first three irrespective of whether all or some are correct/incorrect.
If whole process is given when only part of it is required
Read all and credit relevant part.
If comparisons are asked for and descriptions are given
Accept if differences/similarities are clear.
If tabulation is required but paragraphs are given
Candidates will lose marks for not tabulating.
If diagrams are given with annotations when descriptions are required
Candidates will lose marks.
If flow charts are given instead of descriptions
Candidates will lose marks.
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 becomes correct again, resume
credit.
Non-recognized abbreviations
Accept if first defined in answer. If not defined, do not credit the unrecognised
abbreviation but credit the rest of answer if correct.
Wrong numbering
If answer fits into the correct sequence of questions but the wrong
number is given, it is acceptable.
If language used changes the intended meaning
Do not accept.
Spelling errors
If recognizable, accept, provided it does not mean something else in Life
Sciences or if it is out of context.
If common names given in terminology
Accept, provided it was accepted at the National memo discussion meeting.

If only letter is asked for and only name is given (and vice versa)
No credit.
If units are not given in measurements
Memorandum will allocate marks for units separately, except where it is already

etc.) except where it is already given in the question.
Code-switching of official languages (terms and concepts)
A single word or two that appears in any official language other than the
