a Anaphase; II
b Centromeres divide;
chromatids pulled / move to opposite poles;
by / along (spindle) microtubules.
c Independent assortment;
of homologous chromosomes;
at metaphase I.
Crossing over / chiasma formation;
during prophase I;
leads to exchange of genetic material
between chromatids of homologous pairs.

a
Recessive;
brothers had thalassaemia but their parents didn’t have disease, so both parents must be
heterozygous carriers / equivalent answer.
b Let T = normal allele and t = recessive (thalassaemia) allele (accept other suitable symbols);
father’s genotype = Tt, mother’s genotype = Tt;
gametes = T , t and T , t ;

correctly drawn Punnett square;
possible genotypes of offspring (cannot be tt) = TT, Tt or Tt (or ratio 1 TT to 2 Tt);

a
The genotype is (a statement of) the alleles possessed by an organism;
the phenotype is the characteristic(s) of the organism.
b i short hair; long hair
ii male = Ss;
female = ss (or other correct symbols);
iii short hair : long hair = 1 : 1
c i Let black = B (dominant) and b = white (recessive);
male = SSbb, female = ssBB;
so all F1 must be SsBb;
F1 cross = SsBb × SsBb;
gametes = SB , Sb , sB , sb and SB , Sb , sB , sb ;

ii Carry out test cross with white-haired guinea pig.
If there are any white offspring, parent must be heterozygous / if all offspring are black,
parent must be homozygous.
