The development of understanding of genetics and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.
  2. B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Extinction.
  3. C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.
  4. D. Unrelated contrast: 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 Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Extinction.

Explanation

The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information, so the answer must stay inside Extinction. The alternative options are wrong because they either calling a gene a whole chromosome., explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., or drift away from when asking about genes, test a section of dna, protein coding, alleles, or inherited characteristics..

Common mistake

Extinction common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information..

Answer by clearly explaining how to describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information..
