Here are the solutions to the questions from the image:

Question 1: Genetics

a) i) State the type of gametes produced by the organism shown in Fig 1.
The organism has the genotype Gg.
The types of gametes produced are:
G and g\boxed{\text{G and g}}

a) ii) State the genotype of the offspring if the organism in Fig 1 is self-pollinated.
If Gg is self-pollinated (Gg x Gg), the genotypes of the offspring will be:
GG, Gg, gg\boxed{\text{GG, Gg, gg}}

b) State the phenotype of the offspring if the organism in Fig 1 is self-pollinated.
Assuming G is dominant and g is recessive, the phenotypes will be:
Dominant phenotype and Recessive phenotype\boxed{\text{Dominant phenotype and Recessive phenotype}}

c) State the ratio of the phenotype of the offspring if the organism in Fig 1 is self-pollinated.
The phenotypic ratio will be:
3 Dominant : 1 Recessive\boxed{\text{3 Dominant : 1 Recessive}}

Question 2: Respiratory System

a) Complete the table below to show the differences between inhaled and exhaled air.

FeatureInhaled airExhaled air
OxygenHigher concentration\boxed{\text{Higher concentration}}Lower concentration\boxed{\text{Lower concentration}}
Carbon dioxideLower concentration\boxed{\text{Lower concentration}}Higher concentration\boxed{\text{Higher concentration}}
Water vapourVariable/Less saturated\boxed{\text{Variable/Less saturated}}Saturated/More saturated\boxed{\text{Saturated/More saturated}}
TemperatureAmbient temperature\boxed{\text{Ambient temperature}}Body temperature\boxed{\text{Body temperature}}
Dust particlesMore\boxed{\text{More}}Fewer (filtered out)\boxed{\text{Fewer (filtered out)}}

b) i) Identify the parts labeled A, B, C, D.
A: Trachea\boxed{\text{Trachea}}
B: Bronchus\boxed{\text{Bronchus}}
C: Lung\boxed{\text{Lung}}
D: Diaphragm\boxed{\text{Diaphragm}}

b) ii) State the function of part B.
Part B (Bronchus) functions to:
Carry air from the trachea into the lungs.\boxed{\text{Carry air from the trachea into the lungs.}}

b) iii) State the function of part D.
Part D (Diaphragm) functions to:
Contract and relax to facilitate breathing (inhalation and exhalation).\boxed{\text{Contract and relax to facilitate breathing (inhalation and exhalation).}}

Question 3: Plant Biology

a) i) Identify the parts labeled A, B, C, D.
A: Plumule\boxed{\text{Plumule}}
B: Radicle\boxed{\text{Radicle}}
C: Cotyledon\boxed{\text{Cotyledon}}
D: Testa (Seed coat)\boxed{\text{Testa (Seed coat)}}

a) ii) State the function of part B.
Part B (Radicle) functions to:
Develop into the root system, anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients.\boxed{\text{Develop into the root system, anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients.}}

a) iii) State the function of part D.
Part D (Testa) functions to:
Protect the embryo and stored food from mechanical damage and desiccation.\boxed{\text{Protect the embryo and stored food from mechanical damage and desiccation.}}

b) Describe the conditions necessary for seed germination.
The conditions necessary for seed germination are:

  1. Water: To activate enzymes and soften the seed coat.\boxed{\text{Water: To activate enzymes and soften the seed coat.}}
  2. Oxygen: For aerobic respiration to release energy.\boxed{\text{Oxygen: For aerobic respiration to release energy.}}
  3. Suitable temperature: For optimal enzyme activity.\boxed{\text{Suitable temperature: For optimal enzyme activity.}}

c) State two differences between insect-pollinated flowers and wind-pollinated flowers.

  1. Insect-pollinated flowers often have large, brightly colored petals and produce nectar to attract insects, while wind-pollinated flowers have small, dull, or absent petals and no nectar.\boxed{\text{Insect-pollinated flowers often have large, brightly colored petals and produce nectar to attract insects, while wind-pollinated flowers have small, dull, or absent petals and no nectar.}}
  2. Insect-pollinated flowers typically have sticky pollen and a small, enclosed stigma, whereas wind-pollinated flowers produce light, abundant pollen and have large, feathery, exposed stigmas.\boxed{\text{Insect-pollinated flowers typically have sticky pollen and a small, enclosed stigma, whereas wind-pollinated flowers produce light, abundant pollen and have large, feathery, exposed stigmas.}}
