Question

A. It means students should be able to explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein.
B. It means amino acids is never assessed in Reproduction.
C. It means learners only need to memorise the topic title for DNA and the genome.
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 explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein..

Explanation

The correct option is It means students should be able to explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein. because it directly reflects the approved learning objective: Explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein..

Common mistake

Gene‑Protein Link Misconception

Students often think a gene is a single amino acid or that the gene’s DNA sequence directly becomes the protein sequence without any intermediate steps.

Explain that a gene is a DNA segment that is first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated by ribosomes into a polypeptide chain; the codon sequence in the mRNA determines the order of amino acids in the final protein.
