- A. It means students should be able to describe each nucleotide as containing a sugar, phosphate group and one of four bases.
- B. It means A is never assessed in Reproduction.
- C. It means learners only need to memorise the topic title for DNA structure (biology only).
- D. It means students should give the opposite of the approved learning objective.
Answer
The correct answer is It means students should be able to describe each nucleotide as containing a sugar, phosphate group and one of four bases..
Explanation
The correct option is It means students should be able to describe each nucleotide as containing a sugar, phosphate group and one of four bases. because it directly reflects the approved learning objective: Describe each nucleotide as containing a sugar, phosphate group and one of four bases..
Common mistake
Forgetting the phosphate group
Students often describe a nucleotide as only a sugar and a base, omitting the phosphate group that links nucleotides together.
Remind students that a nucleotide consists of a five‑carbon sugar, a phosphate group attached to the 5’ carbon, and one of the four nitrogenous bases (A, C, G or T).
