Paper 2 Section B
5 1. - HIV binds to a receptor at the surface of helper T cells//CD4

lymphocytes 1
2. - lipoprotein membrane of HIV fuses with lipoprotein

membrane of helper T cells 1
3. - viral RNA and reverse transcriptase enzyme enters the helper

T cells//once inside the host cell, the viral enzyme uses the
RNA as a template 1
4. - DNA produced then inserted into a host

chromosome//incorporates with the DNA of the host cells 1
5. - transcription process yields copies of viral RNA 1
6. - some transcripts are translated into viral proteins 1
7. - others get enclosed as hereditary material in the proteins when

new virus particles are put together 1
8. - the particles bud off from the host’s cell’s plasma

membrane//exocytosis and are released to start a new round of
infection 1
9. - with each round, more macrophages, antigen-presenting cell,

and helper T-cells are killed 1
10. - the host immune system produces antibodies in response to

HIV antigenic proteins 1
11. - helper T and cytotoxic T cells also are produced 1
12. - gradually, the immune system destroys about half of these

virus cells and replaces half of the helper T cells lost in the
battle 1
13. - huge reservoir of HIV and masses of infected T cells

accumulate in lymph nodes 1
14. - as the battle proceeds, the number of virus particles in the

general circulation rises 1
15. - the body produces fewer and fewer helper T cells to replace
the ones it lost 1
16. - by time, the erosion of helper T cell count cause to lose its
capacity to mount effective immune responses//eventually the
immune system collapses 1

foetus and the mother 1
2. - nourish the development of foetus by transferring essential

materials from mother’s blood 1
3. - excretes metabolic waste from the foetal blood 1
4. - transfers certain maternal antibodies to provide the foetus

with passive natural immunity 1
5. - acts as barrier for the foetus against certain pathogen and

their toxins except the HIV virus 1
6. - shields the foetus from harmful substances of the mother’s

blood 1
7. - permits the maternal and foetal blood systems to function

at different pressures 1
8. - produces hormones to prevent mother’s ovulation and

menstruation 1
Max : 6 marks
Functions of the amnion :
9. - secretes amniotic fluid to fill the amniotic cavity that acts

as a water cushion to help maintain the suitable
temperature for the foetus 1
10. - encloses the amniotic fluid to protect the foetus from

mechanical shock 1
11. - expands as the embryo increases in size, allows space for

foetal growth 1
12. - protects against fluid loss from the foetus due to

dehydration and against tissue adhesion 1

4. - drugs like nicotine and alcohol may lead to mental and

physical retardation in the baby 1
5. - maternal circulation has a blood pressure that is too high

for the foetus to handle 1
6. - since the foetus carries paternal genes, it will produces

foreign antigens to mother if their blood group is
incompatible 1
7. - if incompatible blood types mix, they will clot 1
8. - this leads to blockage of vital organs, possibly resulting in

death 1
9. - if the maternal antibodies leak to the foetus, it will lead to a

breakdown in the foetal antigens that should be a source of
protection to the foetus 1

organism over a period of time 1

archegonia during fertilization 1
