2 Dairy cattle are kept for milk production. Approximately half of all the calves born are male.
(a) Sex is determined in cattle in exactly the same way as it is in humans.
Explain why 50% of all cattle are born male.
You may draw a genetic diagram to help your explanation.

(b) Dairy farmers only need a very small number of male calves. They limit the number by
using sex selection. Sperm cells are identified and sorted before they are used in artificial
insemination (AI).
Explain how artificial insemination is carried out.

Some women do not breast-feed their babies but bottle-feed them using formula milk. Health
authorities advise against the use of cow’s milk until babies are about 9 months old.
Use the information in Table 2.1 to explain the advantages of using formula milk rather than
cow’s milk.

(e) The effect of human lysozyme on two common species of bacteria, A and B, was investigated
at two different values of pH.
The investigation was set up as shown in Fig. 2.1.
The test-tubes were kept at 37°C for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, samples were taken from each test-tube. Each sample was placed onto
nutrient agar in Petri dishes. The dishes were incubated at 28°C for a further 24 hours to
allow any bacteria to grow.
The results are shown in Fig. 2.2.
