BOARD OF THE FACULTY OF BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCES: SUB-FACULTY OF BIOLOGY

Honour School of Natural
Sciences—Biological Sciences 1999

Under the terms of the regulations for the above examination
(Examination Decrees, 1997, pp. 412–15) the
Sub-faculty of Biology has approved the following topics for
extended essays in Part A of the Honour School examinations in
1999.

Animal Biology

1

Do Tinbergen's `four questions' apply to areas of biology other
than behaviour?

2 What factors shape the reproductive
strategies of animals?

3 Write an essay on the integrative action
of the nervous system.

4 How are skeletal and muscular elements of
different animals integrated to carry out specific locomotor
tasks?

5 Discuss how nutritional systems reflect
compromises between the simultaneous requirements for multiple
nutrients.

Plant and Microbial Biology

1

Discuss how transgenic plants have increased our understanding
of metabolic processes in plants.

2 Should we be taking action to conserve
bacterial biodiversity?

3 Plants have had to evolve a distinct set
of mechanisms to compensate for an immobile lifestyle. Discuss
these mechanisms with respect to the generation of plant form,
plant growth, plant reproduction, and acquisition of resources.
Make particular reference to how such mechanisms may be similar
or dissimilar to mechanisms that have evolved in animals.

4 Trace the evolution of the life history of
extant angiosperms and describe the selective pressures that have
led to the most significant changes.

5 Write an essay on the potential of using
plants as biorefineries.

Environmental Biology

1

Brancaster County Council have been asked to give planning
permission for a new light industrial estate on an area of
heathland adjacent to a small county town. You have been asked
to assess the conservation value of this area. Prepare a detailed
proposal describing how you would go about doing this. Your
proposal should include a work-plan, a budget, and a list of
outputs.

2 What are the principal ways in which humans
have an environmental impact?

3 How would aliens know that there is life
on Earth if they could not visit us?

4 In what ways can phylogenetic information
be informative in ecology?

5 Contrast absolute and relative methods of
population measurement.

Cell and Developmental Biology

1

Describe how advances in microscopy technique have increased
our understanding of cell biology.

2 Cells are extraordinarily complex dynamic
structures. Why don't they go wrong more often?

3 Much research in cell biology is funded
with a view to understanding human biology and treating human
disease: why then is so much of the research performed on fungi
such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and
Schizosaccharomyces pombe?

4 `No man is an island' (Thomas Merton).
Discuss the extent to which individual cells within a
multicellular eukaryote are independent of one another.

5 Compare the mechanisms that are used to
ensure that proteins and RNAs end up in their correct cellular
location.

Biology of Animal and Plant Disease

1

Compare and contrast current and future control practices for
micro- and macro-parasites.

2 Does the gene-for-gene theory apply equally
to animal and plant systems?

3 Discuss the parasite-altered behaviour in
plants and animals—consider single and multiple host
systems.

4 Do plants and animals rely equally on
innate and adaptive immunity?

5 Explore the uses and limitations of the
concept of the basic reproductive number (R0) of a
parasitic infection with reference to vector-borne parasite
systems.
