Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Sexual and asexual reproduction because students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Sexual and asexual reproduction.
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Reproduction / Sexual and asexual reproduction.
Answer
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Sexual and asexual reproduction because students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Sexual and asexual reproduction.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Sexual and asexual reproduction because students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Sexual and asexual reproduction because students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis, so the answer must stay inside Sexual and asexual reproduction. The alternative options are wrong because they either treating dna as if it always means one gene., calling a gene a whole chromosome., or drift away from when asking about dna, test molecular structure, base sequence, nucleotides, or genetic information storage..
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Clones
Students often confuse asexual reproduction with sexual reproduction, thinking that clones can arise from sexual processes.
Clarify that asexual reproduction involves only one parent and results in genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and mixes genetic information.
