Here are my answers.

Both organs have many blood vessels.

Both organs have large surface areas to absorb oxygen.

Both organs are for exchange of gases.

Q23. The diagram below shows Kenny's family tree of 4 generations that carry the genetic trait of a disease, D. Study the family tree carefully and answer the following question.


Please refer attachment for the family tree
http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Sc/2009-Sc-SA2-CHS.pdf


Which of the following statements are conclusions you can draw about the above famly tree?

A. Disease D is passed on to only the male members of the family.
B. There is a chance that Kenny's sister may bear a son with the disease.
C. The daughter of a male patient with Disease D will be a carrier of the Disease.
D. Kenny's mother inherited the genes of Disease D from her maternal grandmother.

(1) A and C only
(2) A and D only
(3) B and C only
(4) A, B and C only.


My answer is (1) while the answer in the worksheet is (3). Which is correct?


TIA.

Hi,

Yes, B is correct if she marries someone who suffers from disease D.

Hi, can anyone explain to me why option (1) is the correct answer :

I had thought that bulbs in parallel are suppose to draw more power from the battery. Thus, bulb Y should be dimmer after bulb Z is added. No ?

is this a acs revision paper?

from an engineer pov, Y shd be brighter coz when X//Z, the overall resistance is lower than before so more current will go thru Y.
But since this is P6, I'm not sure :oops:

Exactly.

Joconde, the brightness of a bulb depends on the electric current flowing thru it. If more power is drawn the batteries will run out faster .

So I think unless a resistance(say bulb) is added in series there bulb Y wont get dimmer .

it's rosyth 09 prelim. ur engineer's theory very cheem lei. from my layman's point of view, it's more load added, so Y should be either dimmer or at most as bright.....v confused :?
