The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Extinction because students must apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario.
- B. Common misconception: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Extinction.
- C. Partial misconception: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This misses the objective focus on apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario.
- D. Terminology mix-up: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Extinction.
Answer
The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Extinction because students must apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Extinction.
Explanation
The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Extinction because students must apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Extinction because students must apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario. is correct because A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. The learning objective says students must apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario, so the answer must stay inside Extinction. The alternative options are wrong because they either explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., treating dna as if it always means one gene., or drift away from do not use dna, gene, and chromosome as interchangeable answers..
Common mistake
Extinction common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario..
Answer by clearly explaining how to apply extinction factors to unfamiliar species using evidence from a scenario..
