    MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2006 question paper

    0610 BIOLOGY
    0610/06 Paper 6, maximum raw mark 40

    This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the
    examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
    indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began.

    All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
    candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
    demonstrated.

    Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
    examination.

    The grade thresholds for various grades are published in the report on the examination for most
    IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses.

    • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

    CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2006 question papers for most IGCSE,
    GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
    syllabuses.
