2 0607/61/M/J/17 © UCLES 2017 Answer all the questions. A INVESTIGATION VIRUS (20 marks) You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part. This investigation looks at the way a virus spreads in plants in a field. 1 In a field there are a large number of plants in a straight line. The diagram shows the plants near the middle of the field. On Day 1, one of the plants is infected with a virus (V). V On Day 2, that plant is dead (D) and the virus infects the plants next to it. D V V This continues from day to day so this is the pattern on Day 3. D D V V D The diagram shows that the virus infects two more plants on day 3. So the total number of plants that are infected or dead is five. (a) Complete this table. Day (n) Total number of plants that are infected or dead (t) 1 1 2 3 3 5 4 5

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, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0607/61 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 7 MARK SCHEME NOTES The following notes are intended to aid interpretation of mark schemes in general, but individual mark schemes may include marks awarded for specific reasons outside the scope of these notes. Types of mark M Method marks, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. For accuracy marks to be given, the associated Method mark must be earned or implied. B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of Method marks. When a part of a question has two or more ‘method’ steps, the M marks are in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. The notation ‘dep’ is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier mark in the scheme. Abbreviations awrt answers which round to cao correct answer only dep dependent FT follow through after error isw ignore subsequent working nfww not from wrong working oe or equivalent rot rounded or truncated SC Special Case soi seen or implied
