PAPER 1

Question 1

1 Unstable nucleus of atoms that undergoes a process called radioactive decay where the nucleus
emits rays of particles and energy
2 strongly attract electrons/highly ionizing/(relatively) heavy/
3
slow-moving/ low penetrating power/two protons and two neutrons make up the particles and it has
a charge of +2/rays of alpha particles
4 A piece of paper
5 Light/weak ionizing properties/
6
medium penetrating power/beta particles
7 Sheets of aluminium or plastic
8 Very weak inonizers/no mass or charge/ move at the speed of light/
9
have high penetrating power/gamma rays/ a form of energy
10 Thick shields (such as lead or concrete)

Question 2

1 a disease that is caused by an abnormality in an individual’s DNA.

2 their parents (by their offsprings)
3 mutations
4 misspellings in the genetic codes
5 (a single base in the) chemical structure of DNA/ (the entire) chromosome/red blood
6 sickle cell anemia
7 Down syndrome
8 Exposure to chemicals in the environment/exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun/
9
exposure to invisible particles given off by radioactive materials/
10
a change in a single base in the chemical structure of DNA
