2023 WASSCE: Likely Biology Questions For All Science Students

We at Education News Consult have put together some likely Biology questions for the 2023 WASSCE which will soon take place. We urge all candidates to master these Biology questions very well if they want to pass their WASSCE 2023.
Candidates are urged to refer to their recommended textbooks and notes for references and concepts they do not understand. They are also urged to form study groups and discuss these questions among themselves.

1. Make a well labelled diagram of an animal cell.

a. Give the functions of 4 labelled organelles.

b. What is the importance of chloroplast in a plant cell?

c. The protoplasm is composed of?

d. Give the name of the components of the cell wall of the following;

i) Plants ii) Fungi iii) Yeast

2. Briefly describe feeding in mosses

a. State 3 importance of conjugation

b. Distinguish between diffusion and osmosis

c. List all the life processes in living things

d. Explain the term ‘Symbiosis’

e. Explain the following terms and give instances/situations;

i) mutualism ii) commensalism iii) parasitism iv) predation

3. What is the name of the ‘X’ shape that forms when two chromosomes meet?

a. List 4 examples of sex-linked diseases

b. Distinguish between recessive and dominant gene

c. Write down the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis in plants

4. a. What is conservation of natural resources?

b. List the various natural resources that needs to be conserved and briefly explain the importance of conservation

c. Highlight 4 major problems encountered in conservation of our natural resources

5. List 4 characteristics of Arthropods
