Crossing A: If both parents are homozygous the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent and will be heterozygous. Crossing B: If one parent is homozygous and the other parent is heterozygous, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be homozygous and a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous. Crossing C: If both parents are heterozygous there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous dominant, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous and a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous recessive.

(3) 2.2 The sewage plant does not function properly because the level of faecal coliforms has increased greatly from sample A to sample B, which indicates that untreated water has been dumped in the river. (3) 2.3 Cholera /typhoid fever, /hepatitis /gastroenteritis /dysentery. (any two) (2)
2.4 The water in sample B is more acidic than the water in sample A. (1) 2.5 Acid mine drainage is the drainage of highly acidic water from old mineshafts to the earth s surface. (1) 2.6 Increased levels of plant nutrients will cause that plants and algae grow at an increased rate. (1) 2.7 Decreased oxygen levels as a result of the rotting of water plants that grew at increased rates because of eutrophication (high levels of nitrates and phosphates) and died thereafter because of a lack of sunlight. OR Highly poisonous levels of salts (sodium and chlorides). OR ph level drops/water is too acidic for fish to survive.

(any two acceptable reasons) (2) 3.1.3 E.g. too many people/exponential growth, therefore there is a food shortage/not everyone has access to food. (any valid explanation) (2) 3.2.1 Food shortage as a result of floods /a certain geographical area is not suited for planting food /natural disasters like hurricanes destroy crops and stock decreases /droughts destroys crops /impact of changing climates on crops. (any three) (3) 3.2.2 In certain areas of the world, land is redistributed to inexperienced farmers without the necessary knowledge of how to produce big crops. A lot of farmers do not have the necessary equipment to ensure a big crop. Smaller crops causes an increase in food prices up to a point that people cannot afford the food they need. Food producing countries put restrictions on the amount of food that they export, which causes the price of local goods to increase, including food. (any three) (3) [12] QUESTION 4 Nuclear waste is an issue because it is not bio-degradable. Figure 3 shows that there are a lot of people who still have a no-care attitude about nuclear waste storage, which has worse consequences over the long term. Ideas regarding the disposal of nuclear waste that might be mentioned in candidate s essays: Nuclear waste can have a lot of health risks for anyone who comes in contact with the waste. This includes marine life and the heating of sea water can cause a decrease in biodiversity. Impak Onderwysdiens (Pty) Ltd 22
Chernobyl is a good example of the problems caused by nuclear waste disposal. A more recent example was seen in Japan. Current methods of disposing of nuclear waste: Deep-sea disposal. (Marks for description and risks involved with the method. ) Deep geologic disposal. (Marks for description and risks involved with the method. ) Nuclear waste recycling. (Marks for description and risks involved with the method. ) A responsible approach to the disposal of nuclear waste is essential.
