25In fish, the blood and water flow in [blank_start]opposite[blank_end] directions. This is called [blank_start]countercurrent[blank_end] flow. This means a diffusion gradient is maintained all the way along the gill lamellae so almost all the oxygen diffuses out of the [blank_start]water[blank_end] into the [blank_start]blood[blank_end].

2. Bcountercurrent
3. Cwater
4. Dblood

30Arteries have a [blank_start]thick[blank_end] muscular layer which can be constricted and dilated to control the volume of blood passing through them. They have a thick [blank_start]elastic[blank_end] layer which helps to maintain blood pressure by stretching and [blank_start]recoiling[blank_end]. The overall thickness of the artery help to prevent [blank_start]bursting[blank_end]. There are no [blank_start]valves[blank_end].
1. Athick
2. Bthin
3. Celastic
4. Drecoiling
5. Ebursting
6. Fvalves
31Veins have a [blank_start]thin[blank_end] muscular layer which can [blank_start]constrict[blank_end] to control the flow of blood. They have a thin elastic layer. They have very thin walls since the pressure is [blank_start]lower[blank_end] and means they can be flattened easily to aid the flow of blood. There are valves throughout which ensure the blood doesn't flow [blank_start]backwards[blank_end].
1. Athin
2. Bthick
3. Cconstrict
4. Dlower
5. Ehigher
6. Fbackwards
7. Gforwards

34During meiosis, the chromosome number [blank_start]halves[blank_end] and [blank_start]4[blank_end] haploid cells are are genetically [blank_start]different[blank_end] are produced.
1. Ahalves
2. B4
3. Cdifferent
35Crossing over occurs during meiosis [blank_start]1[blank_end]
1. A1

2. BAlanine, Arginine, Alanine, Stop codon
3. CLeucine, Arginine, Alanine, Tyrosine
38A genetic bottleneck will [blank_start]reduce[blank_end] genetic diversity. It is an event which causes a big [blank_start]reduction[blank_end] in the population so will reduce the number of [blank_start]alleles[blank_end]. The survivors will reprodue and the larger population is created from [blank_start]a few[blank_end] indiviuals.
1. Areduce
2. Bincrease
3. Creduction
4. Drise
5. Ealleles
6. Fa few
7. Gmany
39Directional selection favours individuals with characteristics at the [blank_start]extremes[blank_end] of the population whereas stabilising selection favours individuals in the [blank_start]middle[blank_end] of the range when the environment [blank_start]isn't[blank_end] changing much.
1. Aextremes
2. Bmiddle
3. Cisn't
4. Dis
