The milk is produced and stored in the cow’s udder. udder In 1965, a long experiment was begun to find out if artificial selection could increase the milk yield of cows. In one set of cows, artificial selection for high milk yield was carried out in each generation. These were called the selected line. In the other set, there was no artificial selection. These were called the control line. Both sets of cows were kept under the same conditions. The mean milk yield from the cows that were born in each year from 1965 to 1990 was calculated. The results are shown in Fig. 3.1. 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 selected line control line mean milk yield per cow / kg year of cow’s birth Fig. 3.1

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