Exam-style question
Try this first
Which option best identifies the exact concept boundary for Reproduction, DNA and the genome: students must explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein.
- A.Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches DNA and the genome because students must explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein.
- B.Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing DNA and the genome.
- C.Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that each gene codes for a sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein.
- D.Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Reproduction / DNA and the genome.
