Question

  1. A. GX61: Use the wind-pollinated grass strip. Measure pollen-count classes. Change anemometer reading; record the dependent variable from the data table; hold Mannitol control tube constant. Use random/systematic sampling, representative sample size and bias check. Compare observed and expected values; use critical value, significance and null hypothesis. Correlation means association; correlation does not prove causation. Keep locus-variant evidence separate from allele-frequency model evidence and selection evidence. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement.
  2. B. GX61: Use casual observations of wind-pollinated grass strip; omit expected values and ignore sample size. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement.
  3. C. GX61: Change anemometer reading and Mannitol control tube together, then claim correlation proves causation. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement.
  4. D. GX61: Discuss Explain gene pool and allele frequency. without a null hypothesis, controlled variable or bias check. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement.

Answer

The correct answer is: GX61: Use the wind-pollinated grass strip. Measure pollen-count classes. Change anemometer reading; record the dependent variable from the data table; hold Mannitol control tube constant. Use random/systematic sampling, representative sample size and bias check. Compare observed and expected values; use critical value, significance and null hypothesis. Correlation means association; correlation does not prove causation. Keep locus-variant evidence separate from allele-frequency model evidence and selection evidence. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement.

Explanation

This works because the answer is anchored to Explain gene pool and allele frequency.: it names the biological idea, applies it within Populations, and links the evidence to a consequence. GX61: The correct option is supported by pollen-count classes, anemometer reading, controlled Mannitol control tube, representative sampling, observed and expected values, and a cautious correlation judgement. Evaluate validity, reliability, limitation, conclusion and improvement. For exam-style wording, develop the link between structure, function and consequence rather than stopping after a definition.
