Biology (H2): Examiner-Report Misconception Explorers

Questions candidates found difficult on H2 Biology 9744 (Nov 2023) — radioactive labelling, the cell cycle, limiting factors, and heterozygote advantage.

Paper 1

Paper 1 Q5 — Reading a radioactive-label experiment

Cell biology — interpreting isotope labelling; proportion of labelled monomers matters

Paper 1 Q16 — What happens in S phase

Cell cycle — DNA and centriole replication both occur in S phase (interphase)

Paper 1 Q21 — One graph, one conclusion

Photosynthesis — a single variable’s graph cannot prove another factor’s effect

Paper 1 Q22 — Change tracks the limiting factor

Photosynthesis — the rate changes only with whichever factor is currently limiting

Paper 1 Q25 — Heterozygote advantage keeps all genotypes

Genetics — heterozygote advantage cannot eliminate homozygotes from a cross
