Question
- A. It means students should be able to state that cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes.
- B. It means gametes is never assessed in Reproduction.
- C. It means learners only need to memorise the topic title for Meiosis.
- 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 state that cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes..
Explanation
The correct option is It means students should be able to state that cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes. because it directly reflects the approved learning objective: State that cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes..
Common mistake
Misidentifying the cell type
Students often say that the cells in reproductive organs are mitotic cells that divide to form gametes, confusing mitosis with meiosis.
Clarify that the cells in reproductive organs (e.g., oogonia, spermatogonia) undergo meiosis, not mitosis, to produce haploid gametes. Emphasise that meiosis is the specific division that halves chromosome number and creates genetic variation.
