                  ((a)          (i)      State six differences between mitosis and meiosis.                           [6 marks]    
             (ii)       Name five places in  the human body where mitosis occurs.              [5 marks] 
                    (b) What is ante-natal care?                                                                             [3 marks]  
                    (c) Mention six activities that are carried out at  an ante-natal clinic.              [6 marks]  |

                  This question was not popular  and candidates’ performance was poor. 
                    In  part (a)(i) candidates could not state differences between mitosis and  meiosis.  In part (a)(ii) candidates could  not name the five places in the human body where mitosis occur.      
                                                                                                                                                           
                      
                    The expected answers were as  follows: 
    
                      4(a)(i)  Differences  between mitosis and meiosis   
                MITOSIS                                                         MEIOSIS 
-           Occurs  in somatic cell/growth of        -           Occurs during gamete/sex cell  
             somatic cells;                                                    production                   
-           Chiasmata  not formed;                       -           Chiasmatal formed; 
-           two  daughter cells are formed;           -           four daughter cells are formed                                                                                                                     
-           Chromosome  number of parent is       -            Chromosome number of  
            same  as that of daughter cell;                          parent twice that of  daughter  
                                                                                     cells;                           
-           diploid  cell formed;                             -          haploid  cell formed;  
-           chromosome  of each daughter cell      -          chromosome of daughter cells              
            identical;                                                          vary; 
-           no  crossing over occurs;                       -          crossing over occurs; 
-           offspring  identical.                                -          offspring  vary. 
                                                                                                                 
                    
                    
                      - Places in the  Human body where mitosis occurs   
 
                      - skin;
 
                      - ear;
 
                      - brain;    
 
                      - blood;
 
                      - bone.
