number 2 Four from: (4) • Running requires muscle contraction (1) • which uses ATP and glycogen (1) • so muscle stores of ATP are soon depleted (1) • so myosin heads cannot detach from actin binding sites. (1) • Muscle cells are permanently contracted. (1)

number 3 Eight from: (8) • Colonisers – the body’s own anaerobic bacteria (1) • Grow quickly in high concentrations of lactic acid (1) • That have been produced by anaerobic respiration of muscle cells (after death) (1) • Begins in gut but (hydrolytic/digestive) enzymes break down cells/ connective tissue (1) • Bacteria spread throughout body (1)

number 4(a) A microsatellite (1) (1) 4(b) Three from: (3) • Each individual has two copies of chromosome 13 (in their somatic cells)/each person/child inherits one copy chr 13 from their mother and one from their father. (1) • Child 1 has inherited chromosome 13 with 6 repeats from father and chr 13 with 98 repeats from mother. (1) • Child 2 has inherited chr 13 with 142 repeats from each parent. (1) • Child 3 has inherited chr 13 with 98 repeats form mother and a chromosome 13 with 50 repeats from a different father. (1) 4(c) Three from: (3) • Exons are coding regions. (1) • Therefore little/no difference between (most) individuals. (1) • But mutations occur during evolution. (1) • So can identify species by distinct sequences within a particular exon. (1)
