Students set up an experiment as illustrated below.
​(a) Name the physiological process that resulted in the observations made after 30 minutes.
(b) State the importance of the physiological process investigated in plants. (c) Explain the observations made after 30 minutes.
answers
​(a) Osmosis;
(b) Absorption of water from the soil; opening and closing of stoma; feeding in insectivorous plants; support (in seedlings, leaves,herbaceous plants); Movement of water from cell to cell in plants. (c) The thistle funnel gained water by osmosis; because the sucrose solution was hypertonic;

.An individual is of blood group B positive.
(a) Name the antigens in the individual’s blood. (b) Give the reason why the individual cannot receive blood from a blood group A donor.
answers
​(a) (Antigen) B; Rhesus (antigen)/Rhesus factor/Antigen D
(b) Has antibody a in the blood plasma of the recipient and will correspond with antigen A in the donor’s blood, hence there will be antigen antibody reaction/agglutination. K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2015PP1QN02
During a lesson, students observed the structure of bat, cat and human forelimbs to determine their evolutionary relationship.
(a) State the name given to the structure of the limbs observed by the students. (b) Name the type of evolution illustrated by the structure of the limbs observed. (c) What evidence of evolution is illustrated by the limbs? (d) State the significance of the type of evolution illustrated by the limbs.
answers
​(a) The pentadacty/ limb/homologous structures;
(b) Divergent evolution/adaptive radiation; (c) Comparative anatomy; (d) It allows the organisms to exploit different habitats to reduce competition;
