Exam-style question
Try this first
Which option gives the correct cause-and-effect relationship for Reproduction, DNA structure (biology only): students must explain that a sequence of three bases codes for a particular amino acid.
- A.Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches DNA structure (biology only) because students must explain that a sequence of three bases codes for a particular amino acid.
- B.Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing DNA structure (biology only).
- C.Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that a sequence of three bases codes for a particular amino acid.
- D.Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Reproduction / DNA structure (biology only).
