    MARK SCHEME for the November 2005 question paper

    5090 BIOLOGY

    5090/03 Paper 3 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 initially instructed to award marks. It does
    not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking
    began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be
    recorded in the published Report on the Examination.

    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.

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

    CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2005 question papers for most IGCSE and
    GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses
