A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Key differences in amphibian vs. human heart structure
Steps:
- Recall amphibian heart has 3 chambers (2 atria, 1 ventricle) with partial blood mixing.
- Note human heart has 4 chambers (2 atria, 2 ventricles) for full separation of oxygenated/deoxygenated blood.
- Identify statement 1 as incorrect (e.g., assumes equal chamber count).
- Confirm statements 2 and 3 as correct (e.g., chamber difference and blood flow separation).
Why C is correct:
- Option C selects statements 2 and 3, matching the anatomical law that amphibians have a 3-chambered heart for mixed circulation, unlike the human 4-chambered heart for double circulation.
Why the others are wrong:
- A includes incorrect statement 1.
- B includes incorrect statement 1.
- D includes all, but statement 1 is false.
Not enough information on exact statements, but based on standard biology.
Final answer: C
